Edirne Province, Administrative province in Eastern Thrace, Turkey

The province covers 6,145 square kilometers of territory in Eastern Thrace, sharing borders with Bulgaria to the north and Greece to the west.

Between 1363 and 1453, the province contained Edirne, which functioned as the third capital of the Ottoman Empire before the conquest of Constantinople.

The nine districts of the province, including Edirne, Enez, and Keşan, maintain traditional agricultural practices and hold annual wrestling competitions at Kirkpinar.

The province includes significant transportation routes connecting Turkey to Europe, with multiple border crossings and established rail connections to neighboring countries.

The Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, constructed by architect Mimar Sinan in the 16th century, features the highest minarets built in Turkey before 2019.
