Why is istanbul famous?
Istanbul is a very old city, originally founded as a trading city by the ancient Greeks and called Byzantium. Later, the first Christian emperor of the Roman Empire (Constantine) renamed it after himself (Constantinople) and moved the capital of the Roman Empire there from Rome. Later, after the fall of Rome it became the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire for almost a thousand years until it was captured by the Ottoman Turks, renamed Istanbul, and it was their capital until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in World War 1. After that Istanbul remained the capital of Turkey, and so it is today. It is a very famous city with a long history.
Who became an able ruler and changed the name of Constantinople to Istanbul?
Sultan Mehmet II, el-Fatih of the Ottoman Empire was the Muslim leader who conquered Constantinople. However, he did not name the city Istanbul. It was officially called Constantiniyye (which is just the Turkish pronunciation of Constantinople) until the turn of the 20th century. The Ottoman residents of the city began to call it Istanbul not long after Mehmet II's conquest but it was a nickname or slang name for the city in the same way that "Big Apple" is slang for New York City or "Big Easy" is slang for New Orleans. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk officially renamed Constantiniyye as Istanbul in 1930.
What was the new capital of Constantine?
The Roman capital was not moved to Constantinople. What Constantine the Great did was to move the imperial capital of the eastern part of the empire from Nicomedia (in northeastern Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium, redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople. Milan remained the imperial capital of the western part the Roman Empire. An imperial capital in the west and one in the east had been established by emperor Diocletian not long before Constantine's rule. The new imperial capitals were created to bring imperial administration closer to the troubled frontiers of the empire than Rome. Rome became the nominal capital of the empire.

Why did Constantine located his capital in Constantinople?
The advantages were strategic. Constantinople was more easily defended than the city of Rome (which was subject to malaria outbreaks among other things). Constantine moved the captial to the Greek city of Byzantium and renamed it "Nova Roma" (New Rome.) The name was changed to Constantinople ("city of Constantine") after the emperor's death. Constantinople remained the capital of the Roman and Byzantime empires for over a thousand years, until it was captured by the Turks in the 1400s. Long after Rome fell to barbarian invaders, Constantinople thrived as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (by then the Roman Empire had split into Eastern and Western realms, with separate emperors for each, though they remained closely allied with one another.
