Byzantine Churches in Constantinople: Their History and Architecture

"Byzantine Churches in Constantinople: Their History and Architecture" by Alexander Van Millingen is a historical exploration of the churches in Constantinople, detailing their architectural styles and the important roles they played in religion and art. Written in the early 1900s, the book explains how the city was a key location for the Christian religion and thought. It sadly describes how time, disasters, and lack of care led to the destruction of many of these significant churches, with only a small number still standing. The author focuses on the remaining churches, hoping to show off their detailed architecture and the history they represent, so readers can understand their importance.
