In Constantinople it was very much of a city type environment. It was the center of many trade routes and that is why it was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Not only was it the center of trade routes but Constantinople traded too. Then had ivory, silks, and furs. It was a very elegant city filled with riches! A French soldier said " One could not believe there was so rich a city in the whole world!" At one point Constantinople had around one million people living there! Also because it was a peninsula it was able to build an easy defense system. Constantinople had a large chain that was placed in the water to block intruders. They also built a huge wall, it covered all of the land around Constantinople so no one could get in without people knowing.
