The capital of the Eastern Roman Empire was Constantinople, which is present-day Istanbul in Turkey. It was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD and served as the political, cultural, and economic center of the Byzantine Empire. Constantinople remained the Eastern Roman Empire's capital until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
