history

The region around Kırklareli was already settled in prehistoric times . The Archaeological Institute of the University of İstanbul has been excavating two prehistoric settlements together with the German Archaeological Institute since 1993 . The Neolithic Tell Aşağı Pınar dates to a period between 5900 and 5000 BC. BC, the Bronze Age settlement Kanlıgeçit, however, in the third millennium BC. Furthermore, various Iron Age burial mounds are known from the area . Numerous finds are exhibited in the small History Museum of the Kırklareli Province.

Throughout the Middle Ages, membership of the region was fought over between the Bulgarian and Byzantine empires . In 896 the Bulgarian Tsar Simeon I defeated the Byzantines in the battle of Bulgarophygon (today Babaeski).

In 1903 the Ilinden-Preobraschenie Uprising , organized and carried out by the Bulgarian Macedonia-Adrianople Revolutionary Committee , took place. The aim of the uprising was to liberate as many Bulgarian areas as possible and to unite them with the Principality of Bulgaria at a later date, with the will of the great powers . The insurgents were poorly armed and outnumbered: the Turkish government sent an army of 350,000 soldiers with artillery and cavalry to meet the 26,000 insurgents . More than 70,000 Thracian Bulgarians fled to neighboring countries, especially Bulgaria. Burgas became the largest refugee city .

Many Bulgarians lived here until the Second Balkan War (1913) and Greeks who were expelled until the beginning of the 20th and 20th centuries (see also Teşkilât-ı Mahsusa ).

Kırklareli ("Land of the Forties") was called Kırkkilise, "Forty Churches" until 1924.

Attractions

The Sokollu Mosque in Lüleburgaz on the route between Edirne and İstanbul is the work of Mimar Sinan and was built in 1570. Also from Sinan is the Ali-Paşa Mosque in the neighboring town of Babaeski .

The Hızır Bey Mosque, the oldest in the provincial capital Kırklareli, was built in 1388. Under Hızır Bey , a bathhouse was built next to the mosque. The Kirklar monument from the 14th century, consisting of 18 columns, stands on the same hill in memory of 40 Janissaries who during the conquest of the territory by Sultan Murat I. fell.
