EXPLORING ISTANBUL: Walking on the historic medieval WALLS of CONSTANTINOPLE ????️
SUBSCRIBE: - The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built.
Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a soaring 6th-century dome and rare Christian mosaics.
Turkey is a nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Cosmopolitan Istanbul, on the Bosphorus Strait, is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace, former home of sultans. Ankara is Turkey’s modern capital.
Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, when well-manned, they were almost impregnable for any medieval besieger, saving the city, and the Byzantine Empire with it, during sieges from the Avars, Arabs, Rus', and Bulgars, among others. The advent of gunpowder siege cannons rendered the fortifications vulnerable, but cannon technology was not sufficiently advanced to capture the city on its own, and the walls could be repaired between reloading. Ultimately the city fell from sheer weight of numbers of the Ottoman forces on 29 May 1453 after a six-week siege.
The walls were largely maintained intact during most of the Ottoman period, until sections began to be dismantled in the 19th century, as the city outgrew its medieval boundaries. Despite the subsequent lack of maintenance, many parts of the walls survived and are still standing today. A large-scale restoration program has been under way since the 1980s.

비잔틴 제국의 천년을 지킨 테오도시우스 성벽, 그러나 이 성벽이 무너지면서 오스만 제국의 시대가 열리기도 했다. 성벽은 내벽 중벽 외벽의 삼중벽으로 튼튼하게 지어졌다. 이스탄불의 상징과도 같은 블루 모스크. 오스만 시대에 지어진 모스크는 둥근 돔 천장과 높은 첨탑이 특징이다. 537년 비잔틴 제국의 성당으로 지어진 아야소피아 박물관은 1453년 오스만 제국에 정복당한 이후에는 이슬람 사원으로 개조되었다. 1400년 동안 가톨릭 성당에서 이슬람 사원으로 그리고 현재는 박물관으로 용도를 바꾼 아야소피아는 이스탄불 수많은 유적지 중 가장 관광객이 많이 찾는 곳 중 하나다. 비잔틴제국을 정복한 술탄 메흐메드는 대성당을 파괴하지 않고 모자이크만 회칠로 가렸다고 한다. 이슬람 사원 안에 회벽으로 가려져있던 모자이크는 1931년 미국 조사단에 의해 발견되었다. (사람들) 현재 우리가 보는 모자이크는 30년에 걸친 끈질긴 복원작업 덕이라고 한다.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun dönemi de açık olduğu gibi Konstantinopolis, Bizans Surları binyıl sağlanması, ancak duvarlar çöktü. Duvarlar üçlü duvar cepheleri iç duvarının sağlam orta duvarı inşa edildi. Ayrıca İstanbul'da Sultanahmet Camii gibi ve sembolize etmektedir. Osmanlı dönemi, yüksek sivri ve yuvarlak kubbe ile karakterizedir Cami inşa edilmiştir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu bir camiye dönüştürülmüştür sonra Ayasofya Bizans İmparatorluğu'nun bir katedral olarak inşa edilmiş 537 yıl 1453 yılında müze fethetti. 1400 Katolik Kilisesi camiye yıl ve şimdi Ayasofya amacı en çok turist İstanbul'un sayısız tarihi mekana bir sürü bulabilirsiniz yerlerden biridir değiştiren bir müzedir.

How Constantinople Became Istanbul, Turkey (Worldview w/ Captain Kurt)
Constantinople was the last stronghold of the Roman Empire. When it fell, it became the new capital of the Ottoman Empire: Istanbul. Throughout the years, it has become quite a tourist attraction. Even today, it’s a bridge between the East and the West. Literally. Separated by the Bosporus Strait, you can eat lunch in Asia while looking over the water into Europe.
Captain Kurt takes us on a tour of this historical city in “Worldview w/ Captain Kurt.”

The city of walls: Constantinople - Lars Brownworth
The world owes much of its cultural legacy to Constantinople's walls. When Constantinople was under seige by neighboring enemies, the Roman city's elaborate system of moats, outer walls, and inner walls stood tall. Surviving numerous fire attacks, the walls were eventually brought down by more modern tools of warfare, but, thankfully, classical culture survived.

İstanbul Surları, İstanbul'un çevresinde bulunan, Doğu Roma zamanında yapılmış şehir duvarlarıdır. İstanbul'un etrafını çeviren surlar tarihte 5. yüzyıldan başlayarak inşa edilmiş, yıkılmalar ve yeniden yapmalarla dört defa elden geçmiştir. Son yapımı MS 408'den sonradır. II. Theodosius (408-450) zamanında İstanbul surları Sarayburnu'ndan Haliç kıyısı boyunca Ayvansaray'a bu taraftan ve Marmarakıyısı boyunca Yedikule'ye, Yedikule'den Topkapı'ya, Topkapı'dan Ayvansaray'a uzanıyordu.

Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) - Ancient Rome Live
Constantine founded Constantinople on Byzantium, a strategic site for controlling the Bosphorus by the Greeks and as recently as Septimius Severus. This city was Constantine's New Rome with churches, walls, hippodrome and palace, baths and walls spread throughout seven hills, as per Rome. Many other emperors added to the glory of Constantinople, including Valens, Theodosius, Theodosius II, Marcian, and Justinian, who built the definitive version of the Hagia Sophia. The city suffered many setbacks, through it did not fall as early as the western half of the Roman Empire. The Crusader sack of 2014 stands out as a flashpoint of the city's precious state in the medieval period, with the bronze horses and tetrarch statue group noteworthy spoils from wealthy Constantinople still on display in San Marco in Venice.

The Walls of Constantinople. Istanbul, Turkey. August 2017
The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built.
Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger, saving the city, and the Byzantine Empire with it, during sieges from the Avar-Sasanian coalition, Arabs, Rus', and Bulgars, among others. The advent of gunpowder siege cannons rendered the fortifications vulnerable, but cannon technology was not sufficiently advanced to capture the city on its own, and the walls could be repaired between reloading. Ultimately, the city fell from the sheer weight of numbers of the Ottoman forces on 29 May 1453 after a six-week siege.
The walls were largely maintained intact during most of the Ottoman period, until sections began to be dismantled in the 19th century, as the city outgrew its medieval boundaries.
