Byzantium refers to an ancient Greek city. It was initially founded by the Greeks around 660 BC. The town was later renamed Constantinople and is now known as Istanbul. It has a rich and storied history. It emerged as a centre of culture and trade, strategically positioned between Europe and Asia. Over the centuries, it evolved into the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which would later be recognised as the Byzantine Empire. This powerful empire thrived from the 4th to the 15th century, leaving behind a legacy of stunning architecture, vibrant art, and a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that continue to shape the city today.
