Constantinople was the biggest crossroad in medieval times.... It was a cultural, religios and economic centre.... That's why the Turks wanted it so much... And also, the Silk Road was passing through Constantinople....

And also, the Silk Road was passing through Constantinople....The route that reaches Constantinople actually ends there ~;) Then, the trading fleets of the Mediterranean transport the goods further West and South, etc.

You can consider the Levant as the crossroads of the ancient world pre-Rome also, being the place where Egyptian, Greek (and all the other Aegean-ers), and Mesopotamian-Persian cultures meet - and home to the seafaring Phoenicians.
