Edirne: Capital of the Ottoman empire before Mehmet II conquered Constantinople and moved his court there, Edirne is blessed with imperial building stock, a notable culinary heritage and a lingering and much-cherished sense of civic grandeur. Close to the Greek and Bulgarian borders, the city has a European flavour that is best appreciated in summer, when locals party on the banks of the Tunca and Meric Rivers and cheer on the contestants at the world-famous Kirkpinar oil-wrestling festival.

Trakya University Hospital is the biggest one in the Balkans. It’s in the Balkan Campus which is close to the city. Hospital building has 103.000 m2 indoor area.
