Edirne<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Historical<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The first settlers in Edirne<\/a> are the Thracian tribes. The first settlements along the Meri\u00e7 and Tunca river banks started. The city, which continued with the dominance of the Achaeans, Persians and Odyss respectively, was conquered by the Macedonians and was called Orestia. The city, which was ruled by the Romans in 168 BC, remained under Byzantine rule until 813. While the Latin empire dominated the city during the Crusades, the Bulgarians dominated the city in 1261.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Ottoman domination started after 1371, Edirne \u00a0served as the capital until the Ottoman Empire until 1453. After this date, the city, which was not occupied by foreigners until 1877, was first occupied by the Russians and then by the Bulgarians in 1912. 2. The Greek invasion started after the city, which was taken again in the Balkan War. On 25 November 1922, along with Karaa\u011fa\u00e7, which was taken as a war compensation in Lausanne, the Meri\u00e7 river was accepted as a border, and Karaa\u011fa\u00e7 on the other side of the river remained the only Turkish soil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edirne Places to Visit<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Selimiye Mosque<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

As the name suggests, it is the masterpiece that the Ottoman Sultan Selim II had built by the master architect of the period, Mimar Sinan. It is a masterpiece because the building was one of the most important works of Ottoman architecture that Sinan called my masterpiece. II. Care should be taken not to confuse Selim with Yavuz Sultan Selim. The mosque, which started its construction in the period of Selim II, the son of Suleiman the Magnificent, was opened to worship in March 1575. Unfortunately, II. Selim could not see the mosque opening to worship.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to mosque architecture, it is an important factor that it does not resemble any architectural structure before its construction. It is covered by a single lebi with a height of 43 meters and a diameter of 31 meters and placed on a pulley based on 8 columns. The interior of the building is decorated with Iznik tiles. Some of the tiles were dismantled and moved to Moscow in the Russian war.<\/span><\/p>\n

Selimiye Mosque was included in the cultural heritage list by Unesco in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n
