Sivrihisar, District capital and ancient settlement in Eskişehir Province, Turkey

Situated at an elevation of 1070 meters, Sivrihisar extends across 2,748 square kilometers at the foot of a double-peaked granite mountain range.

The settlement evolved from ancient Spaleia into a Byzantine stronghold, with its name combining the Turkish words sivri for pointed and hisar for fortress.

The Grand Mosque of Sivrihisar represents Islamic architectural traditions with its wooden columns, decorated ceiling, and geometric patterns throughout the structure.

The town functions as a transportation hub where routes E-90 and E-96 intersect, providing connections to major cities across central Turkey.

The M.S.Ö. Air & Space Museum displays operational aircraft, making Sivrihisar an unexpected center for aviation enthusiasm in central Anatolia.
