CONQUEST OF ISTANBUL

The Ottoman army began its offensive in
the first hours of May 29. The Ottomans
carried out the final offensive in three
waves. For the first two hours, the
marauders attacked the walls, then
Anatolian troops took their place. Finally,
the janissaries stepped in to deliver the
killing blow. Meanwhile, the wounded
Giustiniani left the battlefield, causing
great demoralization among the city's
defenders. Finally, in the morning, the
Ottoman
soldiers managed to enter through the
gate called Kerkoporta and erected the
Ottoman banner on the bastion above the
gate. Sultan Mehmed entered the city in
the afternoon, went to Hagia Sophia,
prayed and said "min-ba'd (from now on)
my throne is Istanbul".
