"Dungeons: Unveiling the Dark Secrets of History" Step into a world shrouded in mystery and intrigue as we explore the captivating realm of dungeons. From Constantinople's Yedikule Fortress to the infamous Tower of London, these underground chambers have witnessed tales that send shivers down our spines. In Turkey, Constantinople's Yedikule Fortress stands tall, its dungeons whispering stories of ancient empires and forgotten prisoners. These stone walls once held secrets that only time can reveal. Meanwhile, an engraving from 1880 vividly depicts the chilling scenes within the Dungeons of the Inquisition - a place where confessions were extracted through agonizing tortures like fire on one's feet. Traveling across borders and centuries, we find ourselves in France during King Louis XI's reign. Here, Cardinal Balue finds himself imprisoned in an iron cage deep within Chateau d Onzain's dungeons for his treacherous dealings with Charles the Bold. The color lithographs bring this haunting tale to life, showcasing Louis XI watching over his captive with a mix of curiosity and malice. Back in Turkey lies Yedikule Fortress or Seven Towers; its name alone evokes images of hidden passages and forgotten souls trapped beneath its imposing structure. This fortress has stood witness to countless struggles throughout history. Even literature has embraced these eerie spaces. A lithograph from 1916 transports us to a scene where characters remark upon finding themselves amidst dark dungeon corridors – their fate unknown but undoubtedly ominous. The Pozzi Prison emerges from Vedute della Prigioni - an engraving capturing its somber existence through black-and-white photography. Its cold cells remind us that not all who enter will leave unscathed. Journeying further into England’s past brings us face-to-face with Queen Mary I herself as we glimpse her castle’s dungeons below her room – yet another testament to human suffering etched forever in an engraving.
