St. Romanus Gate

St. Romanus Gate

St. Romanus Gate was one of the gates along the land walls of Constantinople.

It was close in proximity to the Lycus River. The 4th and 5th military gates fell on either side. St. Romanus Gate served as the entrance point for the Turkish armies of Mehmed II in 1453 during the Ottoman Conquest of Constantinople.
