You're standing by Anadoluhisarı, the Anatolian Fortress, on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. It was once also known as Güzelce Hisar, the Beauteous Fortress, and it's considered the oldest Ottoman building in the city. Look at the big square tower in the middle. It's 25 metres tall. Around it run the walls, with five smaller watchtowers.
