    When Bayezid I annexed the Hamidid principality, Burdur too came under Ottoman rule.

    Sultan: Bayezid I

    After the armistice the city was occupied by Italy.

    Sultan: Mehmed VI

    The Italian occupation ended in 1921.

How the total is counted: years of actual Ottoman rule are added up. Temporary occupations shorter than a year (that were reversed) are not subtracted; they appear as notes in the chronology.

In the atlas

On the atlas map the city lies in the region “Teke–Hamid (Antalya–Isparta–Burdur)”. Map colours work at region level, so the city's own dates may differ from the region's by a few years.
