Tyana, Archaeological site in Bor, Turkey.
The remains of Tyana include stone foundations of temples, public buildings, and residential structures spread across the archaeological area near modern Kemerhisar.
The settlement began as a Hittite city named Tuwanuwa, later becoming a Roman colony under Emperor Caracalla and a capital of Cappadocia Secunda.
The archaeological site holds connections to philosopher Apollonius, who studied mathematics and practiced Pythagorean teachings during the first century.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a local bus from Niğde to Bor, followed by a short ride to Kemerhisar.
The excavations revealed an ancient Roman aqueduct system with water channels extending through multiple levels of the archaeological complex.
