Review:
Nestled in the gently rolling Thracian plains, Edirne is located right next to the Greek and Bulgarian borders. The city was the second capital of the Ottoman Empire, and it boasts a large number of beautiful mosques; at the heart of the city is the 16th-century Selimiye Mosque, which features a large dome and four minarets and was built by the renowned architect Mimar Sinan. Other highlights of the city include the beautiful Great Synagogue, the graceful stone bridges that arc over the Meriç River, and the picturesque wooden houses scattered throughout the city's old Roman district.
