Constantinople was an easily fortified site due to its strategic location on the Bosporus Strait, which provided natural defenses against naval attacks. The city's position on a peninsula allowed for fortified walls on three sides, while the Golden Horn to the north offered an additional barrier. Its thick, multi-layered defensive walls, particularly the famous Theodosian Walls, further enhanced its fortifications, making it one of the most secure cities of its time. Additionally, the surrounding terrain and water made it difficult for invading forces to approach without facing significant challenges.
