The city was strategically important in the Balkans and was the second city in the Empire Byzantium after Constantinople, and Sultan Murad II took Ederine the capital of the Ottoman Empire in 767 AH / 1365 AD.
Ederine was characterized by the most important architectural monuments erected by Sultan Murad II after 829 AH / 1425 AD.
