Yes and no.  The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman empire before Rome fell in 476.  After the Western Roman Empire fell it became the Byzantine Empire until 1451 when the (damn I forget which turks but it wan't seljuks and it wasn't ottomans, it was in between) conquered Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul.

The "Five Good Emperors" (sometimes called the Nervan-Antonian Dynasty) were a series of five emperors of the Roman Empire who ruled from 96 to 180 AD. They were known for their moderate policies, in contrast to their more tyrannical and oppressive successors.\n\nThese emperors were Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius. Among the Roman emperors, the period of the five good emperors was particularly notable for the peaceful method of succession. Each emperor chose his successor by adopting an heir, thus preventing the political turmoil associated with the succession both before and after this period. The naming by Marcus Aurelius of his son Commodus as heir proved to be an unfortunate choice, and the end of the Pax Romana.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Good_Emperors

July 12, 100 BC – March 15, 44 BC\n\nHe was a Roman military and political leader. He played an important part in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, with the first Roman invasion of Britannia. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest military geniuses of all time, as well as a brilliant politician and one of the ancient world's strongest leaders. In 42 BC, two years after his death, the Roman Senate officially proclaimed him as one of the Roman deities.\n\nCaesar fought in a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and he heavily centralized the government of the Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate him, to restore the Republic and because they were afraid that Julius might try to make himself a king. This dramatic assassination took place on the Ides of March (March 15th) in 44 BC.

The First Bulgarian Empire was able to defeat the Byzantine Empire in 811 and expand its territory eastward to the Black Sea, south to include Macedonia, and northwest to present-day Belgrade (see fig. 2). The kingdom reached its greatest size under Tsar Simeon (893-927), who presided over a golden age of artistic and commercial expansion. After moving deep into Byzantine territory, Simeon was defeated in 924. \n\nMeanwhile, Rome and Byzantium competed for political and cultural influence in Bulgaria. The Eastern Empire won in 870 when Bulgaria accepted Eastern Rite (Orthodox) Christianity and an autocephalous Bulgarian Church was established. This decision opened Bulgaria to Byzantine culture (and territorial ambitions) through the literary language devised for the Slavs by the Orthodox monks Cyril and Methodius. Establishment of a common, official religion also permanently joined the Bulgarian and Slavic cultures. \n\nAfter reaching its peak under Simeon, the First Bulgarian Empire declined in the middle of the tenth century. Byzantine opposition and internal weakness led to a loss of territory to the Magyars and the Russians. Bulgaria remained economically dependent on the Byzantine Empire, and the widespread Bogomil heresy (see Glossary) opposed the secular Bulgarian state and its political ambitions as work of the devil. Seeking to restore a balance of power in the Balkans, the Byzantines allied with the Kievan Russians under Yaroslav and invaded Bulgaria several times in the late tenth century. Although the Bulgarians expanded their territory again briefly under Tsar Samuil at the end of the tenth century, in 1014 the Byzantines under Basil II inflicted a major military loss. By 1018 all of Bulgaria was under Byzantine control. For nearly two centuries, the Byzantines ruled harshly, using taxes and the political power of the church to crush opposition. The first and second Crusades passed through Bulgaria in this period, devastating the land.

This is a question more suited for the history category but that’s not important.\nDue to its nature, Christianity appealed to the slaves and women in the Roman Empire. The nobility who held the power had no incentive to adopt Christianity. Even Emperor Constantine who is credited with making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire did not get baptized until he was on his death bed. Some speculate that even that act was not intentional. Constantine was too sick and weak to prevent himself being baptized. His motivations for adopting Christianity have been debated but I believe his decision was based on political expediency. He recognized that ruling an Empire is easier when there is a religious cohesion in it.\nOnce Christianity became a mainstream religion, the traditional roles played by the temple priests were transferred to the Christian priests. The church then mimicked the Roman political structure by assigning a Pope (Emperor), a group of elected officials and the hierarchy of Bishops, priests and so on. The chain of command in the Catholic Church today is an exact replica of what the Roman political system was.\nOne major difference between the Church and the Roman Court was that the Emperor got its power from the senate while the Church claimed its authority from a higher authority. With the decline of Rome and its influence, senate and the emperor and the rest of the political system lost their influence of the population but since God was still there, the church could claim its source of power and maintain its authority over its constituents.\nI hope this answers your question or at least points you to the right direction.

The Fall of Constantinople was the conquest of the Byzantine capital by the Ottoman Empire under the command of Sultan Mehmed II, on Tuesday, May 29, 1453. This marked not only the final destruction of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the death of Constantine XI, the last Byzantine emperor, but also the strategic conquest crucial for Ottoman rule over the Eastern Mediterranean and Balkans. The city remained capital of the Ottoman Empire until the empire's dissolution in 1922, and was officially renamed Istanbul by the Turkish Republic in 1930.

You mean the frist building? The church was "instituted" when Jesus gave it to the apostles. But im not sure when the first actual building was erected. Constantine might have built the first one. The first Catholic "church" would have jsut been in someones house or in a cave, before Constantine legalized the religion
