Constantinople had pagan origins, but soon after the Edict of Milan, which established religious tolerance, the Christian Orthodox Faith started to become the main religion and lasted for over 1,000 years. After the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 AD, the main religion became Islam.
