Benteng batu ini dibangun oleh Konstantinus Agung untuk melindungi Konstantinopel, yang sekarang dikenal sebagai Istanbul, dari serangan darat dan laut. Bentengnya sebagian besar tetap utuh sampai bagian-bagiannya mulai dibongkar pada abad ke-19, ketika kota itu melampaui perkembangan abad pertengahan. Banyak bagian benteng yang bertahan dan masih berdiri sampai sekarang.

These stone walls were built by Constantine the Great to protect Constantinople, what is now known as Istanbul, from attack by land and sea. The walls largely remained intact until sections began to be dismantled in the 19th century, as the city outgrew its medieval boundaries. Many parts of the walls survived and are still standing today.
