29th may was the 560th anniversary of the conquest of the Istanbul city. Sultan Muhammed Fatih was the first muslim Türk king who had succeeded in making his way through the historic walls of the city on 29th may 1453.
I celebrated the 560th anniversary of this historical event by walking around the historical walls of the Istanbul city. The walls are about 23km in length. However, i walked around it from outside. In total my walk was of about 30kilometres.
Here are some photos that i took on my way.
