Kırklareli, Provincial capital in northwestern Turkey
Kırklareli stretches across the foothills of the Yıldız Mountains, with dense deciduous forests to the north and agricultural fields to the south.
The city changed its name from Kırk Kılıse, meaning Forty Churches, to Kırklareli in 1923 after the establishment of the Turkish Republic.
The Hızır Bey Mosque and Bath, constructed in the late 14th century, represent traditional Ottoman architecture with detailed stone carvings and geometric patterns.
The city maintains a branch connection to the Edirne-Istanbul railway line, providing transportation links for both commercial and passenger traffic.
Archaeological excavations in Kırklareli reveal evidence of early human settlements on the European continent, with artifacts dating to Paleolithic and Neolithic periods.
