title: Rakka Eyalet
text: The eyalet of Rakka or Urfa was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. Its reported area in the 19th century was 24,062 square miles (62,320 km⁲). The eyalet was created in 1586 on territory previously under the jurisdiction of Diyarbekir. In the 16th century, the town of Raqqa again entered the historical record as an Ottoman customs post on the Euphrates. However, the capital of this eyalet and seat of the vali was not Raqqa but ar-Ruha about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Raqqa.
