About The Tour
The Byzantine Empire was the “Empire That Refused to Die”—surviving for over 1,000 years after the fall of Rome! Based in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), it was Europe and Asia's cultural, economic, and spiritual crossroads. With impressive feats like the Aya Sophia and Topkapi Palace, the Byzantines knew how to build big and look fabulous doing it. They were expert strategists too, juggling invasions, rebellions, and political intrigue. From the grand walls of Constantinople to their control over much of the Balkans, they left a legacy of art, architecture, and the best defense systems around. Talk about resilience!
