Sivas, Administrative district in central Turkey
Sivas stretches across a broad valley of the Kızılırmak River at 1,285 meters elevation, containing multiple historical structures from the Seljuk period.
The city evolved from the Roman settlement of Megalopolis in 64 BC to become a major center during Byzantine times under the name Sebasteia.
The Sivas Congress of September 1919 marked a turning point in Turkish history, establishing the foundation for the modern Republic of Turkey.
The district maintains its position as a transportation hub, connecting major railway lines between Ankara, Kayseri, Samsun, and Erzurum.
The local economy combines traditional carpet weaving and textile production with modern industrial facilities manufacturing cement and processing iron ore.
