In the News (Tue 7 Jul 09)

  
  Nigde
It is the capital of the Nigde province with 350,000 inhabitants (2004 estimate).
Nigde has traditionally been one of the cities controlling trade from southern Anatolia to the inner Anatolia and the Black Sea coast, by controlling the mountain pass between the Melendiz mountains in the west and the Taurus mountains in the east.
Nigde is linked by rail and with the principal urban centres of Turkey; Adana 200 km south and Kayseri 150 km northeast.

From the 14th century era of Mongol rule are the Sungur Bey Mosque and the Hudavend Hatun Mausoleum, an excellent example of the Anatolian tower-tomb.

 Whitney - Nigde images
The town of Nigde is in the foreground, with a view of the northern margin of the Nigde massif in the background.
The veins are synkinematic with respect to extensional shear (detachment) and record the late-stages of Miocene exhumation of the core complex.
The core complex model for exhumation of the Nigde massif (Whitney and Dilek, 1997; structural mapping) and final cooling in the Miocene (Fayon et al., 2001; apatite fission-track data) have been questioned, but local regions of earlier (pre-Early Eocene) unroofing of the massif have been subsequently deformed and metamorphosed.

 Cappadocia
Cities such as Nigde and Aksaray were reconstructed, and caravanserais, mosques, Madrasah, and tombs were built.
At the beginning of the 18th century, especially during the time of Damat Ibrahim Pasha, places like Nevsehir, Gülsehir, Ozkonak, Avanos and Ürgüp prospered and mosques, külliyes (a collection of buildings of an institution, usually composed of schools, a mosque, lunatic asylum, hospital, kitchen, etc.) and fountains were built.
The 18th century church of Constantine-Helena in Sinasos-Ürgüp, the 19th century church built in honor of Dimitrius in Gülsehir and the Orthodox Church in Derinkuyu are some of the best examples of this tolerance.
