The Siege of Constantinople in 1453 saw Mehmed II's Ottoman forces overcome the heavily fortified city. A key strategy involved moving ships across land to bypass the city's defenses. Lars Brownworth's 'The City of Walls: Constantinople' discusses this. The Ottomans also utilized the Great Chain of the Golden Horn to restrict naval movement. Today, the Naval Museum in Istanbul commemorates the event. A Google Earth visualization summarizes the fall of Constantinople in one minute.
