The city played a key role in the advancement of Christianity during Roman/Byzantine times, hosting four of the first seven ecumenical councils before its transformation to an Islamic stronghold following the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 CE-especially after becoming the seat of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1517. The city served as an imperial capital for almost 1600 years: during the Roman/ Byzantine (330–1204), Latin (1204–1261), late Byzantine (1261–1453), and Ottoman (1453–1922) empires. The city grew in size and influence, eventually becoming a beacon of the Silk Road and one of the most important cities in history. In 330 CE, the Roman emperor Constantine the Great made it his imperial capital, renaming it first as New Rome ( Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη, Nea Rhomē Latin: Nova Roma) and then as Constantinople ( Constantinopolis) after himself. The city was founded as Byzantium ( Greek: Βυζάντιον, Byzantion) in the 7th century BCE by Greek settlers from Megara. Istanbul is the most populous European city and the world's 15th-largest city. The city straddles the Bosporus strait, lying in both Europe and Asia, and has a population of over 15 million residents, comprising 19% of the population of Turkey.
