1 janv. 1453 - Jeddah benefited from the fall of Constantinople to the Turks
Description:
In the 15th century, Jeddah further benefited from the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453. The closure of the Bosphorus, and of the access to the Black Sea terminal ports of the central Asiatic overland routes, made for a brief period the Red Sea route the only safely practicable way for international East-West trade.Source: UNESCO nomination document, SCTA
