That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Istanbul". The ancient city of Byzantium, located in present-day Turkey, was founded in the 7th century BCE. It served as a strategic trading hub connecting Europe and Asia. In 330 CE, Emperor Constantine I shifted the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, Constantinople became the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Today, it is known as Istanbul, a vibrant, culturally diverse city that bridges Europe and Asia, preserving its rich history and landmarks.
