The Sanjak of Biga was a second-level Ottoman province (sanjak or liva), roughly corresponding to the modern Çanakkale Province of Turkey.

History

The area of the sanjak was conquered from the

Kale-i Sultaniye.[3]

In 1877, the sanjak was moved to the

separate sanjak.[6] In the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, it was often called after its capital as Kale-i Sultaniye (modern Çanakkale).[5]
