Planning notes for Istanbul
Istanbul is a transcontinental city located on the Bosphorus Strait, separating Europe and Asia. Its documented history begins with the Greek colony of Byzantium, established around 667 BCE. In 330 CE, it became the capital of the Roman Empire under Constantine the Great and was renamed Constantinople. It later served as the capital of the Byzantine Empire until 1453, when it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire under Sultan Mehmed II. The city remained the Ottoman capital until 1923.
