Lüleburgaz (Bulgarian: Люлебургас, Greek: Arcadioupolis) is a town in European Turkey. It has a population of 79,002 (2000 census) and is the largest town in Kırklareli Province.
Lüleburgaz is known for its sixteenth-century mosque and bridge, both named after the Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmet Pasha and purportedly designed by the Ottoman chief architect Sinan.
The Battle of Arcadiopolis (970) saw Byzantine forces defeat an invading Kievian-Pecheneg-Magyar force who were aiming to capture Byzantium, 100 miles to the east. The Battle of Lule-Burgas (1912) was here in the First Balkan War.
Lüleburgaz is the seat of the Roman Catholic titular arch-bishopric of Arcadiopolis in Europa.
