Rumeli Fortress - Mehmed The Conqueror
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Rumeli Fortress sits on the western (European) side of the Straits of Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey. Rumeli played a critical role in the siege of the city then known as Constantinople by forces under Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, who overwhelmed the heavily-defended city after a 53-day siege in 1453. The sack of what was then the world's largest city marked the end of the Byzantine Empire (the formal successor to the Roman Empire) and is considered one of the most important events of the Medieval period of history.
