The modern name for Constantinople is Istanbul, which officially became the city's name in 1930. The change reflects the city's long history and cultural evolution, as it was known as Byzantium before being renamed Constantinople in honor of Emperor Constantine the Great. Istanbul is a vibrant metropolis that bridges Europe and Asia, rich in history and diverse cultures.
