Excerpt from A Guide to Constantinople
IN issuing this Guide to Constantinople let me say at once that it is designed rather for the use of the ordinary sight-seer than of the specialised student. My aim has been to avoid confusing the reader with too great fulness of historical, topo graphical, Or technical details but rather to fix his attention on salient points, and to convey to him as succinctly as possible such information as is most likely to be of use to one who, Without much previous study, Wishes to devote a limited time as pleasantly and profitably as may be to the explora tion of the City and its Environs. In carrying out this aim I hope that my many years' experience as Dragoman in biisfiantinople will be found to have been not Without their use in enabling me to.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This guide to Constantinople sets out to help the traveller who has no prior knowledge of the city, drawing attention to its key sites and history.

An outline of its history from its foundation as Byzantium to the present day is provided. The book draws attention to the considerable impact of the cityâs long history on its famous architecture, captured in particular by the iconic Hagia Sophia, now a mosque, built in 537 AD, as well as in the Topkapi Palace, a former residence of the Ottoman Sultans, standing on the site of an earlier Byzantine palace and featuring impressive examples of Islamic architecture.
