Walls of Constantinople / Istanbul History 🇹🇷

The walls repelled attacks by almost every enemy of the Byzantine Empire, but the most persistent threat came in fact from the earthquakes that regularly rock the city. As the empire declined and its former riches were unavailable to the later rulers of Constantinople, fewer and fewer resources were allocated to the upkeep of the city walls. By the time of the Ottoman conquest in 1453, the Theodosian Walls were not the impregnable defence they had once been, though even then and despite repeated bombardment by cannon fire, the skeleton Genoese garrison on the walls kept the Ottomans at bay for two months. When the Ottomans finally breached the city walls on the 29th of May 1453, they were the first conquerors to do so in a millennium
