Best Answer

The Ottomans began their final siege of the city of Constantinople on 2 April 1453, attacking in waves. On 29 May 1453 the Ottomans, under the command of Sultan Mehmed II, conquered Constantinople. The city was renamed Istanbul, and it remained capital of the Ottoman Empire until the empire's dissolution in 1922.
