Which capital city stands on two continents, Europe and Asia?

Istanbul is the capital city? Actually, Istanbul is the major city that stands on both Europe and Asia.

The Bosporus divides Istanbul into European and Asian sections, making the city transcontinental. Its European side contains the historic peninsula, while districts such as Kadıköy and Üsküdar lie in Asia. Bridges and ferries connect the two sides.

Istanbul is not Turkey's capital; Ankara has held that role since 1923. Istanbul was formerly known as Constantinople and served as the capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The city sits between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, giving it major strategic importance.
