A proposito di questo titolo

After the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, Sultan Mehmed II faced a monumental challenge: how to transform a devastated, depopulated city into the thriving capital of a new empire. This episode explores the first decade of Ottoman Constantinople—renamed Kostantiniyye—as a living laboratory of imperial reinvention. We examine Mehmed's policy of forced population transfers (sürgün) from all corners of his realm, the construction of the first Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar, and his ambitious program of turning churches into mosques while inviting Jews and Christians back to rebuild. We also delve into the figure of Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha, the Karamanid scholar who shaped early Ottoman bureaucracy. The episode reveals how Mehmed balanced continuity with innovation: keeping the Ecumenical Patriarchate active while asserting Islamic supremacy, minting bronze coins instead of silver, and even commissioning the first Ottoman map of the world. It's a story of pragmatism, violence, and audacious vision—the blueprint for a city that would define an empire for four centuries.
