Mehmet II made Constantinople his capital and converted the Hagia Sofia Church (along with several other major churches) into Mosques. He opened the city to Turkish Immigration, but permitted Byzantine Christians (and other inhabitants) to remain in the city if they submitted to the religious taxes in force elsewhere in the Ottoman Empire.
