The city in Turkey dates from ancient times.
In the Ottoman Empire, it was called Istanbul by the Turks after it was conquered in 1453, and this is its exclusive modern name from around 1930.
It was known as Constantinople (Constantinopolis, New Rome) and was the capital of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire from 330 BC to 1453 AD.
As the ancient city of Byzantium, it was established around 660 BC, although the original settlement may be much older.
