TÜRKIYE CUMHURIYETI POSTALARI (Postal Service of the Republic of Turkey) issued in 1963 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the conquest of Edirne. The stamps represented historical landmarks and figures, including the Üç Şerefeli Mosque, Sultan Murad I, and the Meriç Bridge. They were printed in Istanbul by APA Ofset Basımevi.
THE CONQUEST OF ADRIANOPLE (MODERN-DAY EDIRNE) was a crucial milestone in the Ottoman expansion into the Balkans during the 14th century. This period was characterised by rapid Turkish territorial gains following the seizure of Gallipoli in 1354. The capture of Gallipoli provided the Ottomans with a strategic foothold in Europe, facilitating their advance into Thrace and beyond.
