Sanjak of Preveza

The Sanjak of Preveza (Ottoman Turkish: Liva-i Preveze‎, Greek: Σαντζάκι Πρεβέζης) was a second-level Ottoman province (sanjak or liva) centred on the town of Preveze (Preveza) in southern Epirus, now part of Greece. Preveza had been a Venetian possession until 1797, as part of the Venetian Ionian Islands, when it was occupied by the French. Ali Pasha of Ioannina conquered the town in 1798, and made it part of his semi-autonomous domain until his fall in 1820.
