Cappadocia

Template:WPlocations

Cappadocia is a region in central 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 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.

Trivia

• In an interview with CVG, Alexandre Amancio noted that parts of the region were reminiscent of Petra.
• While in Cappadocia, Ezio wore a full body-length cape with a hood over his Assassin robes. This was likely so that he would not be recognized within the Templar stronghold.
• After completing the game, it was possible to take a boat to Cappadocia from the Eastern Galata District docks and explore Derinkuyu further, if the player wished. The city looked the same as it was upon Ezio's first arrival.
