Anadolu Fortress and Rumeli Fortress were built to prevent military and economic aid to the Byzantine Empire from the north.
Aşiyan Rumeli Lighthouse Aşiyan Rumeli Lighthouse, officially known as Türkeli Lighthouse, is a lighthouse located on the European side of Istanbul, at the northern end of the Bosphorus where it meets the Black Sea. It is 2 nautical miles away from the Anadolu Lighthouse opposite. The line connecting these two lighthouses constitutes the northern border of Istanbul Port. The village where the lighthouse is located is also named with the same name (Rumelifeneri). The lighthouse, which was decided to be built so that French and British ships could see the entrances of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea during the Crimean War, was started to be operated by the French on May 15, 1856, by building a tower section together with the lighthouse on the opposite shore. The 100-year operating privilege given to the French in 1933 was canceled and completely transferred to the Turks..
Sait Halim Pasha MansionSaid Halim Pasha Mansion is a waterside mansion located in the Yeniköy district of Istanbul. The building, also known as "Arslanlı Yalı" because of the two lion statues on its quay, was built in neo-classical style and dates back to the last quarter of the 19th century. In accordance with its style, despite its calmer exterior, it resembles a small Arab palace as heavy arabesque elements are used in its decoration. The building took its name from Said Halim Pasha (1861-1921), the son of Prince Mehmet Abdülhalim Pasha, one of the four sons of Kavalalı Mehmet Ali Pasha. In the plan of the mansion, the harem and the greeting house are considered under the same roof.
