Huge history, good renovations. Vegetables being grown in the moat .
Not too much to see. The access to the walls top is blocked, but it can be accessed if you are brave and skilled enough.
Not much to see, but interesting for people from Belgrade, Serbia.
The Xylokerkos or Xerokerkos Gate , now known as the Belgrade Gate (Belgradkapı), lies between towers 22 and 23. Alexander van Millingen identified it with the Second Military Gate, which however is located further north. Its name derives from the fact that it led to a wooden circus (amphitheatre) outside the walls. The gate complex is approximately 12 m wide and almost 20 m high, while the gate itself spans 5 m. According to a story related by Niketas Choniates, in 1189 the gate was walled off by Emperor Isaac II Angelos, because according to a prophecy, it was this gate that Western Emperor Frederick Barbarossa would enter the city through. It was re-opened in 1346, but closed again before the siege of 1453 and remained closed until 1886, leading to its early Ottoman name, Kapalı Kapı (\Closed Gate\).
