Hacıbektaş, Administrative center in Nevşehir Province, Turkey

The district of Hacıbektaş extends across central Turkey, featuring traditional stone buildings and narrow streets that connect residential neighborhoods with local markets.

The settlement gained prominence in the 13th century when Hacı Bektaş Veli established a spiritual lodge that became the foundation of the Bektashi Order.

The Hacıbektaş Veli Museum, housed in a former lodge, contains manuscripts, artifacts, and religious objects that document the evolution of Sufi practices.

Regular bus services connect Hacıbektaş to neighboring cities, with the main terminal located near the central square offering hourly departures to Nevşehir.

The district maintains specialized stone carving workshops where artisans create traditional architectural elements using methods passed down through generations.
