Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul: The Three Identities of an Iconic City

In this one-day course, we will analyse the history of Istanbul, a city that since its foundation has raised admiration from travellers, merchants and intellectuals. We will start by looking at the first phase of its story, when it was known as Byzantium. We will continue by investigating the second phase, when it became Constantinople and we will conclude by wandering the streets of Istanbul, enhanced by the tall minarets and the imperial mosques erected by the mighty Ottomans.
