Oldest surviving Muslim community in Europe

The Turks and Tatars from Dobruja have the longest history in Europe. They're not the first Muslims in Europe, that would be the Arabs from Spain that were expelled in 15th century. But the Dobrujan Muslims precede the conquest of Balkans and Constantinople by Turks with 2-300 years.

While Muslim Pechenegs settled parts of today Romania as early as 1061, the first Turks arrived in Dobruja in 1260, and since then their history was uninterrupted. In that year, the Byzantine emperor allowed a deposed Sultan of the Seljuq Sultanate (that preceded the Ottoman Sultanate in Anatolia) to settle in Dobruja.
