The Templar city of Cappadocia.

Cappadocia was a city in central Turkey. Though it was partially above ground, the bulk of it lay underground; an ancient and mysterious region controlled and constructed by the Templars.

History

During the 16^th century, after being driven from their previous base in Rome by the Assassins, the Templars set up their headquarters in the underground city of Cappadocia.

Derinkuyu, the hidden city discovered by the Assassin Ezio Auditore, was an underground haven where many poor and struggling Byzantines took refuge after the fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

Manuel Palaiologos lived here for a time after his family lost their hold on throne of Constantinople.

Trivia

• In an interview with CVG, Alexandre Amancio notes that parts of the city are reminiscent of Petra.
