Best Answer

Istanbul was the capital city of Ottoman Empire. Under the name Constantinople, it was the capital city for Roman and Byzantine Empire, beginning with Constantine the Great.

When the empire became the nation of Turkey after World War I, the capital was relocated to Ankara (in Anatolia, or eastern Turkey).
