The Seddülbahir Fortress, located on the Gallipoli Peninsula, was built in the mid-17th century to safeguard the Dardanelles Strait. It was funded by Hatice Turhan Sultan, the mother of Sultan Mehmet IV. This strategic site, known as 'the Wall of the Sea,' withstood natural disasters and military bombardment during World War I before continuing as a military outpost until 1997. Following that, efforts for documentation, restoration, and re-use of the fortress were initiated, aiming to preserve this historic landmark.
The Seddülbahir Fortress, built in the mid-17th century, protected the Dardanelles and survived significant historical events until its restoration began in 1997.
Constructed by Hatice Turhan Sultan, the fortress served as a military outpost until 1997, despite enduring bombings and severe coastal erosion.
