  • Istanbul's old city walls form the backdrop to dozens of coveted green spaces in one of the world's largest cities. They're also haven to many a junk yard, gardening spot, cemetery and tree that sprouts from their ancient cracks and archways. Dating back as far as the 4th century, they've been variously added to, bored through, left to crumble and restored over the years. They're a fascinating representation of the passage of time and the perfect distraction from the noise and chaos of the surrounding city.

Istanbul's old city walls form the backdrop to dozens of coveted green spaces in one of the world's largest cities. They're also haven to many a junk yard, gardening spot, cemetery and tree that sprouts from their ancient cracks and archways. Dating back as far as the 4th century, they've been variously added to, bored through, left to crumble and restored over the years. They're a fascinating representation of the passage of time and the perfect distraction from the noise and chaos of the surrounding city.
