After the recovery from the results of the long war period, the city was chosen capital of Ottoman Empire by Sultan I.MuradKhan, who liked the view, air, water of Edirne. The role Edirne took during the conquest of İstanbul made a great contribution to the fame of Edirne as a border city.With the reign of Ottoman Empire, Edirne became a crucial starting point of military expeditions to Europe.It is obvious that being surrounded by rivers made it obligatory to be the city of bridges as it became the starting point for military expeditions.After the conquest of the city, Ottomans started to make their own bridges besides restoring the old ones.Besides having the natural aim of exceeding canals, rivers or streams these bridges are also designed as a necklace.As a result of overflows, changing in the riverbeds some extensions were built to the old bridges.Sarayiçi (Saray-ı Cedid) was considered to be of great importance thus ıts surrounding was embroidered with bridges.
