EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic view, captured from the Asian side of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural grandeur of Constantinople. The photograph, titled "View toward the Black Sea - Constantinople," showcases the majestic expanse of the Bosphorus Strait, the natural waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean. In the foreground, the imposing fortification of Rumeli Hisari, also known as the "Rumeli Fortress," dominates the European shoreline. Built by Sultan Mehmed II in 1452, this massive fortress was designed to protect the Ottoman Empire from potential invasions. Its strategic location at the entrance of the Bosphorus made it an essential fortress in the defense of Istanbul. The photograph also features the Rüstem Paşa Mosque, a stunning example of Ottoman architecture, located on the European side of the Bosphorus. The mosque, adorned with intricate tilework and calligraphy, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Ottoman Empire. In the distance, the terrace of Weiss Hisar, or the "White Fortress," can be seen on the European side. This fortress, built during the Byzantine period, was later fortified by the Ottomans and served as a royal residence and a military stronghold. The photograph, taken from a vantage point high above the Bosphorus, offers a unique perspective of the historical landscape. The juxtaposition of the modern cityscape with the ancient fortifications and architectural wonders creates a captivating tableau that transports the viewer back in time. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring history and cultural significance of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, and the Bosphorus, which has served as a vital trade route and a symbol of cultural exchange for centuries.
