Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This guide to Constantinople sets out to help the traveller who has no prior knowledge of the city, drawing attention to its key sites and history. The cityâs unique position on two continents - Europe and Asia - is highlighted, which has caused it to be a sought-after prize throughout history. An outline of its history from its foundation as Byzantium to the present day is provided. The book draws attention to the considerable impact of the cityâs long history on its famous architecture, captured in particular by the iconic Hagia Sophia, now a mosque, built in 537 AD, as well as in the Topkapi Palace, a former residence of the Ottoman Sultans, standing on the site of an earlier Byzantine palace and featuring impressive examples of Islamic architecture.
