We walked over to a portion of the old city walls after leaving Chora Church. Named the Walls of Theodosius, it was built by Emperor Theodosius II in the early 5th century and stretches 3.5 miles from the Golden Horn to the Sea of Marmara.

Upper section of the Golden Horn visible in the distance.

Ancient and modern standing side-by-side.

There wasn’t a lot to see here, but no point in going all the way to Chora Church without a short detour to see the wall.
