Constantinople protected the Golden Horn, its primary harbor, through a combination of natural geography and man-made defenses. The inlet is flanked by steep hills, making it difficult for enemy ships to approach. Additionally, the city constructed a massive chain across the entrance of the harbor to block enemy vessels, supplemented by fortified walls and watchtowers that provided further security. This strategic combination helped safeguard the Golden Horn from naval attacks throughout the city's history.
