Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople[a] (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις; Latin: Konstantinopolis), is the largest city in Turkey, serving as the country's economic, cultural, and historical center. The city is surrounded by the Bosphorus Strait, located between the continents of Europe and Asia, and has a population of more than 15 million residents, or the equivalent of 19% of Turkey's population. Istanbul is one of the most populous cities in Europe, as well as the 15th largest city in the world.

This city was originally founded as the center of the Byzantine capital (Greek: Βυζάντιον, Byzantion) in the 7th century by Greek settlers from Megara. Then in 330, the Byzantine Emperor – Constantine the Great – made this city the capital of his empire, initially the city was named as New Rome (Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη, Nea Rhomē; Latin: Nova Roma). and then changed to Constantinople in memory of the founder of Byzantium. This city then developed into a lighthouse on the Silk Road, as well as one of the most important cities in history.
