History & cultural identity

Bor holds an extraordinary place in Anatolian ancient and classical history, built directly adjacent to the ancient Greco-Roman city of Tyana. Inhabited since Bronze Age Hittite times, Tyana served as the capital of the Kingdom of Cappadocia and the birthplace of the famous ancient philosopher Apollonius of Tyana. During the Ottoman era, Bor developed into a major leather tanning, trade, and carpet-weaving center.
