Constantinople, once the capital of the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, and even a Crusader state known as the Latin Empire, holds a rich tapestry of history within its walls. From the mid-5th century to early 13th century, it reigned as Europe's largest and wealthiest city. The photograph offers a glimpse into Constantinople's architectural splendor with its prominent basilicas and rooftops that stretch across the skyline. One cannot help but be drawn towards one particular structure - Hagia Sophia - standing tall amidst this bustling metropolis.
