After the capture of Constantinople in 1453, the Turks constructed a legend about the founding of the city and its symbolic center, Hagia Sophia. This fabricated legend, based on themes from Byzantine, Syriac, Arabic, and even Hellenistic traditions, constitutes the centerpiece of an ideological debate, that of the Empire.
