Istanbul is not a capital city. The capital of Turkey is Ankara. Constantinople (now known as Istanbul) was the capital city of The Byzantine Empire
The city of Istanbul in Turkey used to belong to two countries: the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
The contry that has two continents is Russia. The two continents in Russia are Europe and Asia. By the way you could have googled "The seven continents of the world" in images it would have been much quicker.
A land area that contains two continents is called an isthmus. It serves as a narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses, separating two bodies of water. Examples include the Isthmus of Panama connecting North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez connecting Africa and Asia.
The two smallest continents are Europe and Australia. Europe is just a bit bigger then Australia.
The eastern part of the Roman empire became known as the Byzantine empire.
No continent was part of the Byzantine Empire. Originally the Byzantine Empire had territories in parts of three continents: southeastern Europe (the Balkan Peninsula), part of western Asia (Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, northern Iraq Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine) and part of north Africa (Egypt and eastern Libya Later the Arabs conquered the countries in western Asia south of Turkey and Egypt and eastern Libya The Slavs conquered much of The Balkan Peninsula. At this point this empire covered parts of two continents. Later still, the Turks conquered Turkey and this Empire was only in one continent, part of southeastern Europe.
You have to be more specific as to what you mean by the "Byzantine Empire". If you are asking about the eastern part of the Roman empire, which historians have dubbed "Byzantine" (after the city of Byzantium), be aware that there was no such thing. It was the Roman empire-- period. Historians used the term Byzantine when they were referring to the eastern parts of the Roman empire in order to differentiate between the two areas of the empire.

It began in 753 B.C. The Roman Empire divided into two factions: The Roman Empire (west) and the Byzantine Empire (East) . The Roman Empire ended in 476 A.D. and the Byzantine Empire, in 1453 A.D.
The Byzantine Empire continued for just over two more decades after Constantinople was recaptured by the Ottomans in 1453. The fall of Constantinople marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, which had already been in decline for centuries. Following its capture, the remaining territories and influence of the Byzantine state gradually diminished until they were fully absorbed by the Ottoman Empire. Thus, the Byzantine Empire effectively ceased to exist shortly after its capital fell.
