The [[Ottoman Turks|Ottomans]] are perhaps most notable for their overthrow of the [[Byzantine Empire]] in 1453, by capturing the Christian city of [[Constantinople]] (now [[Istanbul]]). After capturing the city, the Ottomans changed the [[Hagia Sofia]] from a Church into a Mosque. This event is commonly considered the end of the [[Roman Empire]], as the Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the [[Roman Empire]].
