Sanjak of Krka (Turkish: liva Krka, Serbo-Croatian: Krčki sandžak) was a frontier sanjak (serhad) of the Ottoman Empire.

History

In 1580, Ferhad Pasha Sokolović became the first governor (beylerbey or simply pasha) of the Beylerbeylik of Bosnia.[1] The Bosnia Eyalet (or Pashaluk) comprised a total of ten sanjaks: Sanjak of Bosnia (central province), Sanjak of Herzegovina, Sanjak of Vučitrn, Sanjak of Prizren, Sanjak of Klis, Sanjak of Krka, and Sanjak of Pakrac.[1]

The sanjak had territory from Lika to Krbava, and the areas between Zrmanja and Krka, and had its seat in Knin.[2] It was formed out of territories that had been part of the Sanjak of Klis and Sanjak of Bosnia.[3]

The sanjak had c. 30 nahiye.[4]
