Namazgah Battery is one of the most important defensive structures positioned on either side of the Bosphorus since the time of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. Built overlooking the narrowest point of the Bosphorus, it is known that the battery was named after the soldiers who performed their Eid and Friday prayers together in its large courtyard. The structure, which suffered heavy bombardment on March 18, 1915, was restored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2006. Seeing the traces of the damage caused by cannonballs fired from Allied battleships helps to understand the events of that day. The museum located in the bonnet at the center of the battery details the history of Namazgah Battery, as well as the events before and after the victory won in the Dardanelles on March 18, 1915. War objects and everyday items belonging to soldiers from both sides can be found in the exhibition area.
