Eski Malatya City Walls

The construction of the first walls started in the Titus Period. Constans I (363) continued the building and Justinian (532) finalized the construction. The walls, which once protected the city of Melitene against external factors, are now in ruins. According to the records, it is understood that the wall has 95 towers and 11 gates. The fortification moat of the castle was expanded in 1060 and the city walls on September 18, 1102, were repaired. Evliya Çelebi gives information about Kale in his Seyahatname.
