Constantinople was not renamed Istanbul until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s. During both Ezio's and Altair's lives the name of the City remained Constantinople... just wanted to clear that up

The Turks have called the city Istanbul since they conquered it in 1453. However, many Westerners continued to call it Constantinople. Not until the 20th century did the Turks formally object, and ask that others use the same name they did.
