Coastal artillery of the Dardanelles Strait

Coastal artillery of the Dardanelles Strait (Turkish: Çanakkale Tabyaları) are a series of redoubts on each side of the Dardanelles Strait which controlled the strait in the First World War during the Naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign. Some castles located in the background also supported the coastal artillery.
