Edirne

Edirne, the ancient Adrianople, is a Thracian city at the confluence of the Tunca and Arda with the Meriç, taken in 763/1362 under Murad I and made the forward base of Ottoman expansion in Europe and then their capital after Bursa. It lies on the road from Asia Minor to the Balkans and holds major Ottoman mosques, among them the Üç Şerefeli, the Bayezid II complex and Sinan's Selimiye. Its standing fell when the capital moved to Istanbul and with the Russian occupation of 1829.
