Manisa (originally Greek Μαγνησία Magnisía, Ottoman ماغنيسا Mağnisa) is a city in Turkey with a population of 1,440,611 (2019) and the capital of the eponymous province of Manisa in western Anatolia. The city is a center for raisin trade. The city is located at the northern foot of the Spil Dağı (ancient Sipylos Mountains) and on the banks of the Gediz River. The major city of Izmir is just under 40 kilometres by road southwest of Manisa.
In 2012, Manisa was declared a Büyükşehir belediyesi (metropolitan municipality/metropolitan province). Since the administrative reform in 2013, the municipality is identical to the county in terms of area and population; in addition, the former central county was divided into two new İlçe: Şehzadeler and Yunusemre.

With Law No. 6360, enacted in December 2012, the central county with the provincial capital Manisa was divided into two counties or belediye (or municipal districts), so that the city de facto no longer existed: Yunusemre in the (north) west and Şehzadeler in the (south) east.
- Şehzadeler with 33 Mahalle, 9 Belediye and 23 villages (Köy).
- Yunusemre with 24 Mahalle, 3 Belediye and 62 villages (Köy)
