One of the main reasons that Constantinople remained in the hands of the Byzantine Empire for so long was due to its massive walls.
In 1453, the Ottomans were experts at manufacturing cannons. These were vital weapons in breaching the walls. After several days bombardment, a section of the wall fell, and the well-trained Ottoman army took the city after several days street-fighting.
NO. The Ottomans captured Jerusalem from the Mamluks in 1517. The major city that the Ottomans conquered in 1453 was Constantinople, which was taken from the Byzantine Empire.

Η Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία κατέκτησε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη το 1453, νικώντας την Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία. Οι Οθωμανοί Τούρκοι κατέλαβαν την Κωνσταντινούπολη το 1453.
The Mongols were completely irrelevant as concerns the Ottomans' conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The Ottomans besieged the city on its western walls and maintained a naval blockade on the Sultanahmet neighborhood on the northern, southern, and eastern sides, entirely with their own forces and the forces of their vassal allies (Moldavia and Wallachia). The Mongol Empire had previously risen and fallen in the 1200s and early 1300s.
Osman became the first independent Ottoman ruler in 1299; Constantinople was taken in 1453. So the answer would be 154 years.

Constantinople was conquered by the Ottomans in 1453. It marked the fall of the Roman Empire, with the loss of the 'Second Rome'.
The Ottomans began their final siege of the city of Constantinople on 2 April 1453, attacking in waves. On 29 May 1453 the Ottomans, under the command of Sultan Mehmed II, conquered Constantinople. The city was renamed Istanbul, and it remained capital of the Ottoman Empire until the empire's dissolution in 1922.
