The pictures lead to its former name. Solve the rebus and tell us what name the city is known as today...

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

I think a star in the form of the Turkish flag is apt...

·Two names in the clues. Another town that changed its name, about 150-60 years ago. First two clues, the original name. Second two clues, it’s new name. Carry this a bit further. Why the name change?

·Penn and Teller?
OK, go for it.
Did anyone ever crack this rebus? I scrolled through the thread, and was unable to find out if it was solved.
Anyway: Tristan & Isolde
