We will have just a glimpse of the past through great architecture, like the Hagia Sofia, built by Justinian I, known as Justinian the Great. Founded by Emperor Constantine the Great in 330 CE, this strategically located city on the Bosporus Strait became a major center of trade and culture. It was an empire characterized by a rich fusion of Greek and Roman traditions, where Christianity played a central role in Byzantine society, shaping its religious practices, art, and architecture. Byzantium left a lasting impact on the development of legal systems, the preservation of classical texts, and the spread of Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe.
