In the final episode of our series, the ancient walls of Constantinople crumble—and with them, the last heartbeat of the Roman Empire.

Sultan Mehmet II launches his all-or-nothing assault: cannon fire splits the dawn, smoke cloaks the ramparts, and waves of Ottoman soldiers pour through the shattered defenses. Amid the chaos, Emperor Constantine XI refuses to flee.

Across Europe, the fall sends shockwaves—stirring panic, calls for crusade, and a growing awareness that the Eastern Roman Empire, after more than a thousand years, had finally drawn its last breath.

The epic conclusion to our three-part series on the greatest siege in history.
