Konstantinopel

Constantinople
In what was later byzantine
Was the centre of the greatest empire the world has ever seen
Named after Constantine
Who won battles over the Franks in 314

Constantinople, had a great economy
With connections as far as the silk road
The city grew enormously
An architectural masterpiece
Like the Hagia Sophia and university

You are and will always be my Constantinople
You are and will always be my Constantine

As to its defences
They were massive and complex
Undefeated for 900 years
No one could guess what would happen next
Besieged in 1453
The Ottomans finally conquered the city

You are and will always be my Constantinople
You are and will always be my Constantinople
You are and will always be my Constantinople
You are and will always be my Constantine
