Nevşehir, Provincial capital in Central Anatolia, Turkey
Nevşehir occupies an elevated position at 1,224 meters above sea level, featuring a continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
The settlement originated as Nissa under Hittite rule, later experiencing governance by Assyrian, Median, and Persian empires before Alexander the Great's conquest.
The city maintains strong connections to traditional pottery making, regional music performances, and local culinary practices that reflect Central Anatolian heritage.
Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport provides air connections 30 kilometers northwest of the center, while regular bus services connect to major Turkish cities.
In 2015, workers discovered an extensive underground city beneath Nevşehir's center during modern housing demolition projects.
