Abstract
Aksaray region was an
important
stopover along
the Silk
Road that
crossed
through
Anatolia for
centuries
and
the
city
of Aksaray
has
a
long history.
The region
came under
the control
of
the Seljuk Turks after the Battle
ofManzikert
in
1071.
The Anatolian Seljuk
Sultanate
they
founded
left
impodant
landmarks
in
and
around Aksaray. The Moroccan
traveller Ibn
Battuta
who
was
in
the
region
in
the
14th century was
impressed
by
the
class
of
Muslim
traders
that
had
emerged
in
Aksaray
and
noted the urban
centre as
"a beautiful
city,
surrounded
by
waterways
and gardens,
with
a
water supply coming
right
to
the houses
of the
city.''
