In Assassin's Creed Revelations, which historic city does Ezio visit as the Ottoman Empire's capital?

The story behind the answer

Constantinople is the historic city Ezio visits in Assassin's Creed Revelations.

The game is set mainly in Constantinople during the early sixteenth century, when the city is the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Ezio arrives while investigating Altaïr’s legacy and searching for keys connected to the Masyaf fortress.

The city’s districts include Galata, Constantine, Beyazid, Imperial, and the southern sections around the Golden Horn. Ottoman figures such as Prince Suleiman and Yusuf Tazim play important roles in the story. The game also features Cappadocia as a secondary region.

Constantinople was officially renamed Istanbul in the early twentieth century, but Constantinople is the historically appropriate name for the city in the game’s 1511 setting. The title therefore uses the name associated with the Ottoman capital during Ezio’s lifetime.
