Summary

Niccolo Barbaro: The siege and fall of Constantinople in 1453

The siege and fall of Constantinople in 1453 is one of the events of world historical importance. The mighty walls of Constantinople, about 20 km long, built in the 5th century AD and 192 towers that protected the city from numerous attacks for ten centuries, after an almost two-month siege gave way under the bursts of devastating artillery (whose cannonballs weighed up to 600 kg) on May 29, 1453. Unimaginable scenes of destruction and violence filled the days and weeks of spring and the fateful year until the last assault of the Ottoman army on Tuesday, May 29, with which the thousand-year-old empire was written into history and the heroic defense of the city led by the last Byzantine emperor Constantine XI was ended.

Three testimonies of participants in the defense of the city - Niccolo Barbaro, Leonardo Hioski and Izidor Kijevski - are among the most important historical sources about the event that changed the course of history. The testimony of three eyewitnesses, of different nationalities, but members of the Latin cultural sphere, each in their own way, with their own facts, beliefs and misconceptions, contributes to the understanding of a series of circumstances that marked the end of the Middle Ages and the new phase of development of the Euro-Mediterranean area.
