Eskihisar Castle in Gebze - Kocaeli

in #history6 years ago (edited)

Hi steemers. I will mention in this post about Eskihisar Castle where is in Gebze Kocaeli, Turkey. I live in here and here is a historical village in my country. And I will share some photos of this castle.

The castle is in the north east of Eskihisar Village, which controls the passage of the Izmit Gulf in the past. It is believed that the fortress was built to protect the port during the Byzantine era. The castle, which was also used by the Ottomans, was restored in 1998. The use of the castle for the concert events was opened.

It is located in the center of Eskihisar. The castle has a rectangular plan and four quadrants and four quadrangular walls are reinforced. The fortress is between two towers. There are also six gates, three of which are outside and three of which are outside. The reason why these halls are built without castles is unclear.

Osman Hamdi Bey House and Museum, a museum that you can visit around, is the house where Osman Hamdi Bey, who has an important place because of being the founder of the Turkish museum, spent part of his life.
