| Description: |
North of Tekirdag on the border between Greece and Turkey, Edirne was for some years the Ottoman capital, and in the l8th century one of the seven largest cities in Europe. On a verdant plain of poplar trees near the junction of the Tunca and Meriç Rivers, this graceful historical city welcomes visitors as they make their way to Istanbul and other points east.
Its position for almost 100 years as capital of the Ottoman Empire accounts for its many historically and architecturally important buildings. With its mosques, religious complexes, bridges, old bazaars, caravanserais and palaces, Edirne is a living museum.
