Following the Ottoman conquest, the peninsula was made into a province ("sanjak"), with 109 "ziamets" and 342 "timars". During the first period of Ottoman rule (1460–1687), the capital was first in Corinth (Turk. "Gördes"), later in Leontari ("Londari"), Mystras ("Misistire") and finally in Nauplion (Tr. "Anaboli"). Sometime in the mid-17th century, the Morea became the centre of a separate "eyalet", with Patras ("Ballibadra") as its capital. Until the death of Suleiman the Magnificent in 1570, the Christian population (counted at some 42,000 families c. 1550) managed to retain some privileges and Islamization was slow, mostly among the Albanians or the estate owners who were integrated into the Ottoman feudal system.
