The city was known as Constantinople from 325AD until the 20th century.
The name came from the Roman Emperor Constantine. By the 1450’s
the Byzantine Empire had all but crumbled and the emperor held only
the city of Constantinople. It was seen as an island in a sea called
the Ottoman Empire, a Muslim power that had consolidated over 8 centuries.
The Byzantine Empire was further weakened by repeated Mongolian attacks,
and in 1453, the city fell to the Ottomans, which were led by Mehmet
the Conqueror. Mehmet built his residence, the Topkapi Palace, and he
built the Blue Mosque, as well as the Grand Bazaar. Suleiman the Magnificent
who built more mosques and he was also responsible for building the
great walls that currently surround Jerusalem’s Old city. Bosporus
is greek for the ford of the ox. The Sea of Marmara takes its name from
the largest island that’s located in its waters. Visit our About
