Constantinople was on a small peninsula on the Bosporus, the straits between Europe and Asia. On its northern side there was the Golden Horn, a water inlet which was the estuary of a river and provided a good location for a port. The golden Horn was protected by walls along its shore and by a chain which prevented its entry by enemy ships.
