Yedikule, Istanbul, the fortress of seven towers connecting landwalls with seawalls. It used to be a Roman Golden Gate with four towers, later on more were added. It served as prison, treasury, fortification.. though history and now it stands bare, awaiting visitors but it way off the beaten path. It has a kind of reckless adventure feel to it since interior stairways are not lit and windows are rare, there are no protective rails in most places...basically like it was and not as we crazy-for-safety-modern-people would make it if it was anywhere more western... LOL
Light was absolutely crap that day. This is over done and I'm far from happy.
