Anemas Prison

historical-artifact

The Anemas Prison is an old and large Byzantine structure situated next to the walls of the city of Istanbul. The prison is commonly linked with Michael Anemas, a Byzantine general who rebelled unsuccessfully against Emperor Alexios I Komnenos between 1081 and 1118 and was the first prisoner to be incarcerated there. During the last centuries of the Byzantines, four Byzantine emperors were imprisoned there.
