Line 3: [[File:Rumelia map.jpg\|thumb\|220px\|Map of Rumelia in 1801]] '''Rumelia''' ({{lang-ota\|روم ايلى}}, ''Rūm-ėli''; {{lang-tr\|Rumeli}})~~, also known as '''Turkey in Europe'''~~, was the name of a [[historical region]] in [[Southeast Europe]] that was administered by the [[Ottoman Empire]], mainly the [[Balkans\|Balkan Peninsula]]. Rumelia included the provinces of [[Thrace]], [[Macedonia (region)\|Macedonia]] and [[Moesia]], today's [[Bulgaria]] and [[East Thrace\|Turkish Thrace]], bounded to the north by the rivers [[Sava]] and [[Danube]], west by the [[Adriatic Sea\|Adriatic coast]], and south by the [[Morea]]. In 1844, Rumelia spanned 325,805 km² – an area larger than mainland [[Norway]].<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ivan_Radevski2/publication/324220542_Bitola_-_from_Eyalet_capital_to_regional_centre_in_the_Republic_of_Macedonia/links/5ac5ca53458515798c306374/Bitola-from-Eyalet-capital-to-regional-centre-in-the-Republic-of-Macedonia.pdf Dimitrov et al.

Retrieved 1 August 2019</ref> Owing to administrative changes between 1870 and 1875, the name ceased to correspond to any political division. [[Eastern Rumelia]] was constituted as an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire by the [[Treaty of Berlin (1878)\|Treaty of Berlin in 1878]]. Today, in [[Turkey]], the word ''Trakya'' ([[Thrace]]) has mostly replaced ''Rumeli'' (Rumelia) when referring to the part of Turkey which is in Europe (provinces of [[Edirne Province\|Edirne]], [[Kırklareli Province\|Kırklareli]], [[Tekirdağ Province\|Tekirdağ]], the northern part of [[Çanakkale Province]] and the western part of [[Istanbul Province]]), though Rumelia remains in use in some historical contexts.
