Constantinople is often referred to as the "Queen of Cities" due to its strategic geographic location, commanding control over trade routes between Europe and Asia. Its rich history, cultural diversity, and architectural marvels, including the Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome, contributed to its prominence as a center of commerce, culture, and politics throughout the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The city's opulence and significance in various historical contexts further solidified its regal title.
