Do you mean, "Where WAS the Byzantine Empire?" The Byzantine Empire was the name historians later gave to the eastern half of the Roman Empire after it split in half in the 5th century AD. It was a Christian Empire, so you might just pick up the Bible. The Ottoman Turks conquered the last Byzantine city, Constantinople, in 1452, killed the Emperor, and renamed the city Istanbul--the capital of modern Turkey.

It no longer exist. It was the eastern part of the Roman empire. The state church was Catholic (the orthodox type). It included parts of Greece and Turkey and was finally over run by the Moslem Turks.
The Orthodox Catholic Church still exists mainly in eastern Europe and Russia.
