'''Cappadocia''' is a region in central [[wikipedia:Turkey|Turkey]]. Although it is partially above ground, the main section of the region lies underground.


During the early 16th century, one of its underground cities, [[Derinkuyu]], was controlled by the [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] [[Templars]] as the headquarters for their operations in the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Many poor and struggling [[Byzantines]] took refuge there after the fall of [[Constantinople]] at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

Artwork of Cappadocia

Cappadocia is a rocky region in Central Anatolia, Turkey. It is home to many large rock formations, as well as underground cities such as Derinkuyu.

History[edit | edit source]

During the 4th century BCE, Alexander the Great attempted to subdue the region, but failed due to his lengthy military campaigns. An autonomous and independent kingdom was instead established, led by its own king outside of the Macedonian Empire.[1]

During the early 16th century, Derinkuyu was controlled by the Byzantine Templars as the headquarters for their operations in the Ottoman Empire. Many poor and struggling Byzantines took refuge in Cappadocia after the fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. The Templar occupation came to an end in 1512, once the Assassin Ezio Auditore killed both Manuel Palaiologos and Shahkulu within Derinkuyu's walls and caused a series of explosions that led to the underground city's evacuation.[2]
