EDITORS COMMENTS
Constantinople: A Timeless Symphony of Faith and History - Muezzin Calls the Faithful to Prayer at Rumeli Hisari This evocative image captures the essence of Constantinople, now Istanbul, as the sun sets over the Bosphorus, casting a golden glow on the ancient city's iconic skyline. At the heart of this scene lies the historic Rumeli Hisari, or Rumeli Fortress, a magnificent Ottoman castle built by Sultan Mehmed II in 1452 to control the Bosphorus and protect the European side of the city. Perched atop the fortress, the minaret of the mosque stands tall and proud, its distinctive silhouette a beacon for the faithful. As the muezzin ascends its spiral staircase, the hauntingly beautiful call to prayer echoes across the water, uniting the diverse communities of this vibrant city in a shared moment of reverence and reflection. The houses nestled at the foot of the fortress, their warm hues reflecting the fading light, bear witness to the rich history and cultural tapestry of this ancient city. The Bosphorus, a natural boundary between Europe and Asia, has long been a melting pot of civilizations, and the call to prayer is a testament to the enduring influence of Islam in this fascinating land. As the sun sets and the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, the call to prayer continues, a reminder of the deep-rooted faith and resilient spirit of the people of Constantinople, who have weathered the test of time and continue to preserve the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
