Niğde Province, Ancient provincial capital in Central Anatolia, Türkiye.
Niğde sits at an elevation of 1,276 meters, surrounded by mountain ranges including the Taurus Mountains and Mount Hasan in Central Anatolia.
The area developed from an early settlement called Magida into one of Anatolia's major cities by the 13th century before Ottoman control in 1467.
The local architecture showcases medieval Islamic influence through structures like Sungur Bey Mosque, Alaaddin Mosque, and the Ak Medrese complex.
The region maintains a cold semi-arid climate with hot dry summers and cold snowy winters, making spring and autumn optimal for visiting.
The Eski Gümüşler Monastery, discovered in 1963, contains preserved Byzantine frescoes within its rock-cut chambers near the modern city.
