Where is Edessa

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Edessa generally refers to the city in modern-day Şanlıurfa, Turkey. Historically, this city has been known by various names, including Urfa and Antiochia in Osroene. Şanlıurfa is located in southeastern Turkey, near the border with Syria. Please note that place names and geopolitical situations can change, so it's a good idea to verify the information based on the current date for the most accurate details.
