The capital of the Rightly-Guided Caliphate was MEDINAduring the reigns of Abu Bakr, 'Omar, and 'Othman. They used the infrastructure left over from when Muhammad had ruled the Islamic Polity from Medina. However, when 'Ali took power, he felt that he needed to put his capital in the Upper Middle East, so he moved it to KUFA. After 'Ali's death, the Rightly-Guided Caliphate was abolished by the Umayyads.

What does 'de facto capital of the Caliphate' mean?

The English meaning of the Latin phrase 'de facto' is 'in' ['de'] 'fact' ['facto']. So the phrase 'de facto capital of the Caliphate' means the city that in fact serves as the capital city. The English meaning of the Latin phrase 'de jure' is 'in' ['de'] 'law' ['jure']. In this example, the city that the law recognizes as the capital isn't the city that actually fills the role.
