Constantinople
Constantinople (Latin: Cōnstantīnopolis; Ottoman Turkish: قسطنطينيه) was the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the brief Crusader state known as the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1923).
With the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, the capital of Turkey was moved to Ankara and the Greco-Roman name Constantinople was officially changed to Istanbul in 1930, by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
