It was the capital of Eastern Roman Empire, which was later called by the historians Byzantine Empire to differentiate it from the Roman Empire.
Constantinople was named by the Roman emperor Constantine the First after himself but there was already a city at that location called "Byzantium". However, the people living there just usually called their city "Istanbul", which means "in this city".
Today, the city is officially called Istanbul. It is the largest and most famous city of Turkey and was the capital city of the Ottoman empire until the foundation of the Turkish republic in 1922. The capital was then moved to Ankara.
