Aleppo Eyalet (Arabic: إيالة حلب; Ottoman Turkish: ایالت حلب, romanized: Eyālet-i Ḥaleb)[2] was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. After the Ottoman conquest it was governed from Damascus, but by 1534 Aleppo was made the capital of a new eyalet.[3] Its reported area in the 19th century was 8,451 square miles (21,890 km2).[4] Its capital, Aleppo, was the third largest city of the Ottoman Empire during the 16th and 17th century.[3]
