The Lost Great Palace of Constantinople
Om avsnittet
Lucas and Luna explore the Byzantine Great Palace of Constantinople, from its founding by Constantine the Great to its gradual disappearance after the Fourth Crusade and Ottoman conquest. They discuss the palace's sprawling layout, the famous Great Palace Mosaics depicting scenes from daily life and hunting, the ceremonial spaces like the Chrysotriklinos, and the tragic decline of a complex that once housed emperors. The episode also touches on what survives today: scattered ruins, the Palace of the Bucoleon, and the Mosaic Museum. A deep dive into a lost imperial heart.
