Turkey

* Troy. The ancient city of Troy was famous for its defensive walls. There is archaeological evidence that Troy VII, generally identified as the stage of the legendary Trojan War of Homer's ''Iliad'', usually dated between 1194 BC – 1184 BC, had walls with a carefully built stone base over four meters thick and some nine meters high in places, which was surmounted by a larger superstructure with towers in mudbrick. The walls in Homer's epic are so mighty that the siege of Troy by Achaeans (Homer), Achaeans lasts more than nine years, and only could be finished with the trickery of the Trojan Horse. Sections of the stone base of Trojan walls still survive on the archaeological site in present-day ''Hisarlık'', in Çanakkale Province. * Istanbul. The system of walls around (as it was then known) Constantinople built in 412 by the Roman emperor Theodosius II was a complex stone barrier that stretched 6.5 kilometers and is often called the Walls of Constantinople, Wall of Theodosius. This barrier stood impregnable for ten centuries and resisted several violent sieges until 1453 when the Ottoman Empire, Ottomans succeeded in breaching the walls. There was a new element in the battlefield: the Ottoman army had Gunpowder, powder cannon and the walls offered limited resistance to them. * Diyarbakır. Diyarbakır is surrounded by an almost intact, dramatic set of high walls of black basalt forming a circle around the old city. There are four gates into the old city and 82 watch-towers on the walls, which were built in antiquity, restored and extended by the Roman emperor Constantius in 349. * Osmangazi * Ankara * Çanakkale * İznik * Antalya * Sinop, Turkey, Sinop * Rize * Amasya * Bodrum * Alanya * Ani * Kuşadası * Pergamon * Assos * Bozcaada * Edirne * Trabzon.
