ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The Genoese, just like the merchants of Venice and Pisa, were granted the privilege of having their own quarter in Constantinople in the 12th century. At the time of the Komnenian Dynasty it was located on the southern shore of the Golden Horn. From 1267 to 1682, the Genoese colony flourished on the northern shore of the gulf – in Pera. It was the hub for trade with the Black Sea towns and cities. The fortification walls and towers and the buildings from the Middle Ages have been preserved up to the present day. |
