The Hidirlik Fortifications in Edirne contain the headquarters building where an epic resistance was shown against the Bulgarians under the command of Sukru Pasha, 18 artillery rooms, a 120-meter tunnel, and 4 passageways. The fact that enemy armies coming from the Balkans reached the capital Istanbul without encountering serious resistance prompted the Ottoman administration to establish a defense line in Edirne. Consequently, nearly 30 fortifications were built in the city, the largest of which was Hidirlik.
The Trakya University Natural History Museum was established in 2022 by a team led by Prof. Dr. Yilmaz Camlitepe, with the contributions and support of Rector Prof. Dr. Erhan Tabakoglu. The specimens exhibited in the museum are original and have been prepared by the faculty members of the Trakya University Biology Department in accordance with museum techniques. No hunting was involved in the procurement of the specimens.
The idea of establishing the Lausanne Museum within the Faculty of Fine Arts at Trakya University's Karaagac Campus first emerged in 1996 and took shape with the designations "Lausanne Monument," "Lausanne Square," and "Lausanne Museum." The erection of the Lausanne Monument within the campus was decided by the University Senate's resolution number 7 dated November 27, 1996, with the justification emphasizing that the Lausanne Peace Treaty stipulated the incorporation of the Karaagac region on the Greek side of the Meric River into the Republic's territory as war reparations. The Lausanne Monument and Square were completed in 110 days and inaugurated by President Suleyman Demirel on July 19, 1998.
