The Capital of the Ottoman Empire was originally called Byzantium before being renamed as Constantinople and was renamed by Ottomans as Istanbul.
It's says in my history book...: The victorious sultan rode to Hagia Sophia, the city's largest Christian church. There he offered thanks to Allah and gave orders that the church be transformed into a mosque. He decreed that Constantinopole was now a Muslim city, the capital of a Muslim empire, and renamed it Istanbul. The Byzantine Empire was no more.
The Ottoman Empire no longer exists, its capital was Istanbul. The capital of modern Turkey is Ankara.
Edirne was the third capital city of the Ottoman Empire, before Constantinople
