Troy is a good answer and certainly a famous one, but I'm going to go with Gordion, capital city of ancient Turkey but now no more. I wonder whether it had anything to do with the famous "Gordion Knot?" It was fun looking this up. Thanks for the question!

Since you capitalized "Turkey" I believe you may be referring to the country. The Asiatic portion of Turkey is called Anatolia and the European portion is called Thrace.

The Ottoman Empire, also sometimes known as the Turkish Empire, existed from 1299 to 1922. At the height of its power in the 16th and 17th centuries, its territory included Anatolia, the Middle East, parts of North Africa, and much of south-eastern Europe to the Caucasus. It comprised an area of about 5.6 million km², though it controlled a much larger area, if adjoining areas dominated mainly by nomadic tribes, where the empire's suzerainty was recognized, are included. The empire interacted with both Eastern and Western cultures throughout its 600-year history.\n\nThe Ottoman Empire was established by the Kayı tribe of Oghuz Turks in western Anatolia and was ruled by the Ottoman Dynasty, the descendants of those Turks. It was founded by Osman I (1299-1326). In 1453, following the capture of Constantinople (modern İstanbul) from the Byzantine Empire, the city became the new capital of the Ottoman Empire, under the name Kostantiniyye. Islambol, meaning "full of Islam" and under which the Turks had known the city since the 11th century, was another variation on the name "Istanbul".\n\nIn the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire was among the world's most powerful political entities, with the powers of eastern Europe constantly threatened by its steady advance through the Balkans and the southern part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Its navy was also a powerful force in the Mediterranean. On several occasions, the Ottoman army invaded central Europe, laying siege to Vienna in 1529 and again in 1683 in an attempt to conquer the Habsburg domain, and was only finally repulsed by great coalitions of European powers at sea and on land. It was the only non-European power to seriously challenge the rising power of the West between the 15th and 20th centuries, to such an extent that it became an integral part of European balance of power politics.\n\nThe dissolution of the empire was a direct consequence of World War I, when the Allied Powers defeated the Central Powers in Europe as well as the Ottoman forces in the Middle East. At the end of the war, the Ottoman government collapsed and the empire was conquered and divided among the victorious powers. Subsequent years saw the declaration of new states from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, whose central lands became the Republic of Turkey. The members of the ruling Osmanlı family were subsequently exiled from Turkey in 1923 and 1924 for political reasons. In 1974, after 50 years, the Turkish Parliament granted the right to re-acquire Turkish citizenship for the family descendants, which they all did in the following decades in a process completed by the citizenship of the head of the family, Ertuğrul Osman V in 2004.

If you're a native speaker, you can always find a good teaching job in Istanbul. There a lot of private courses and they prefer hiring native speakers. The teachers are well paid in Turkish standards (10-15 dollars per hour).

Ottoman Empire former Turkish empire that controlled much of SE Europe, the Middle East and North Africa between the 14th and 20th centuries. It was founded by Osman I (1290-1326). He ruled a small principality in Anatolia, which he greatly enlarge at the expense of the Byzantine Empire. The contest with the Byzantine ended with the capture of Constantinople (now Istanbul), which become the Ottoman capital in 1453. Under Suleiman I (the Magnificent) (1520-1566), the Ottoman Empire include the Arab lands of the Middle East and North Africa, SE Europe, and the East Mediterranean. The decline of Ottoman power began before 1600, and thereafter, Ottoman territory was reduce in wars with its European neighbors, Austria and Russia. After World war 1, when the Ottoman territory was reduced to roughly the present Turkish borders, nationalist led by Ataturk deposed the last sultan and created the modern Turkish Republic (1923). Major defeats were in Vienna, Lepanto and Malta.  In Malta the Turks were defeated even if they had more solders and were more armed than the Knight of Saint John and the Maltese.
