Framed Vintage Constantinople Map Canvas — Matte Nautical Wall Art

Step into late-medieval Constantinople with this richly detailed, colorized reconstruction based on the celebrated maps of Cristoforo Buondelmonti’s Liber insularum Archipelagi. Viewed from above, the fortified Byzantine capital unfolds across its historic peninsula, with the Golden Horn separating Constantinople from the Genoese settlement of Pera.

The map highlights many of the city’s most famous landmarks, including Hagia Sophia, the Hippodrome, the Church of the Holy Apostles, the Monastery of Stoudios, the imperial palace district, harbors, cisterns, churches, towers, and monumental gates. Carefully restored lettering and hand-colored architectural details make the dense medieval plan easier to appreciate while preserving the character of the original manuscript tradition.

More than a map, this image is a fascinating record of how Constantinople was imagined in the fifteenth century: a vast, fortified imperial city defined by its walls, domes, palaces, churches, and strategic waterways.

An ideal decorative piece for collectors of antique maps, Byzantine history, medieval art, architecture, and the history of Istanbul.
