Free Constantinople Shirt
The Free Constantinople Tee Shirt is nostalgia for the Byzantine era with modern perspectives.
“Free Constantinople” calls attention to the historical significance of Constantinople as the center of the Byzantine Empire. This is a longing for the city’s rich past and perhaps a statement on the cultural shifts that occurred following its transformation into Istanbul.
Known as the “Queen of Cities,” Constantinople was the heart of the Byzantine Empire and a vital crossroads of trade, religion, and culture between Europe and Asia. Its fall to the Ottoman Empire in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and a significant turning point in world history. In the 20th century, the city officially adopted the name Istanbul in 1930.
This tee shirt highlights the complex legacy of Constantinople, encouraging reflection of advocacy for revisiting and celebrating the city’s Byzantine heritage.
