Edirnekapı

Edirnekapı is defined by the massive stone fortifications of the Theodosian Walls, which stretch across the landscape with two thick defensive towers guarding the ancient threshold. This gate, historically known as the Gate of Charisius, sits at the highest point of the city, seventy-seven meters above sea level. It served as the primary departure point for the old road to Adrianople, now the city of Edirne.
