victory over the besieging muslim Turks under Ottoman leader Murad II, during
the Siege of Constantinople 1422.
The Peribolos between the outer & inner walls of
Constantinople, 1422 A.D. The inner terrace between the inner & outer walls
was called the peribolos & accommodated the soldiers who defended the outer
wall. It was between 50 & 64ft wide. Beyond lay the outer wall, which was a
modest structure compared with the inner wall.
Depicted is the most memorable moment during the
ottoman siege of 1422 A.D. As the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on the wall
heartening the citizens.
