The Greek mythology associates the founding of the city with Orestes, son of king Agamemnon of Homer’s Iliad. The city was (re)founded in an eponymous way by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, hence the origin of its name today.
Strategically located, Edirne has been in the middle of no less than 16 wars or sieges throughout its history, before it was conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Murad I in mid-thirteenth century.

Selimiye Mosque
Dominating the skyline of Edirne, former capital of the Ottoman Empire, the Selimiye Mosque Complex commissioned by Selim II is the ultimate architectural expression by the architect Sinan of the Ottoman külliye. The imposing mosque stepping up to its single great dome with four soaring slender minarets, spectacular decorated interior space, manuscript library, meticulous craftsmanship, brilliant Iznik tiles and marble courtyard together with its associated educational institutions, outer courtyard and covered bazaar, represent the apogee of an art form and the pious benefaction of 16th century imperial Islam. The architectural composition of the Selimiye Mosque Complex in its dominant location represents the culmination of the great body of work by Sinan, the most outstanding architect of the Ottoman Empire.
Uc Serefeli Camii
The Üç Şerefeli Mosque was commissioned by Ottoman sultan Murad II (1421–1444,1446– 1451), and built between 1438 and 1447. It is located in the historical center of the city, close to the Selimiye Mosque and Old Mosque. The name refers to unusual minaret with three balconies. The architect of the mosque is not known. It is built of Burgaz limestone with a main dome that is 24 m in diameter. When first built the dome was the largest in any Ottoman building. The mosque was severely damaged by fire in 1732 and by an earthquake in 1748 but was repaired on the order of Mahmut I. The two blue and turquoise underglaze-painted tile panels in the tympana of the windows were probably produced by the same group of tilemakers who had decorated the Yeşil Mosque (1419–21) in Bursa where the tiles are signed as "the work of the masters of Tabriz" (ʿamal-i ustadan-i Tabriz). The running pattern of the Chinese influenced floral border tiles is similar to those in the small Muradiye Mosque in Edirne.

5.00We went to Istanbul on a family holiday for a week arond New Years 2019. Our Hotel Concierge at the Hilton Bosphorus recommended @istanbultheguide to us as he is Bilingual between Turkish and English. The price was also very affordable and so we agreed and booked a full day tour around Istanbul with our guide, Gürcan. Gürcan was very knowledgeable about many of the places which he took us to. He told us about the history of the places we went to, as well as interesting stories and secrets which we would've never been able to find out. He knew all the best places to direct us and he really made our trip the success which it was. Everything was very well planned, with all the tickets and passes all sorted. Gürcan is very respectful and he is eager and he enjoys what he does. I highly recommend him! Check out his Instagram account @istanbultheguide

5.00What a wonderful experience. I commend Sukru Aygul and Hulya Civelek from Travalium for the excellent service they provided during the private tour to Edirne July 09, 2016. Their hospitality was exceptional and is greatly appreciated. The absolute highlight was an unexpected visit to the Sultan Bayezid II Health Museum. Sukru took the initiative when I mentioned my career in health services. It was a magnificent day indeed.
