TOPHANE AND BURSA WALLS
BURSA CITY WALLS ARE LOCATED NEXT TO TOPHANE HILL. MOST OF THE 1300'S WERE MADE BY THE
ROMAN EMPIRE. BURSA WAS CAPTURED AND STRENGTHENED BY ORHAN GAZI. JUST ABOVE THE
WALLS IS THE TOPHANE DISTRICT. IT IS THE IDEAL PLACE TO WATCH BURSA FROM THE BIRD'S-EYE
VIEW. THE MARTYRDOM AND THE FOUNDER OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, OSMANGAZI'S TOMB IS
LOCATED IN THE TOPHANE PARK. THERE IS A BIG CLOCK TOWER IN THE CENTER OF TOPHANE PARK.
ON THE WAY BACK TO THE TOPHANE, ALTIPARMAK STAIRS ARE USED FOR LANDING. IT IS POSSIBLE
TO OBSERVE THE DUNGEONS FROM THESE STAIRCASES. THE PART WHERE THE DUNGEONS AND
DEEP CAVES ARE LOCATED IS TERRIFYING, BUT ENTRANCE TO SOME PARTS IS FORBIDDEN.
ACCORDING TO AN EXTRAORDINARY BELIEF, THESE CAVES HAVE AN UNDERGROUND CITY IN THE
DEPTHS.
