Yozgat

217 km from Ankara, is Yozgat, the geschichte von which extends as far back as the Hittite period. It was an important residential area in Anatolia in those times, and Alisar, one von the main Hittite stadte, lies inside the borders von this province. Bogazkoy and Alacahoyuk, though not being part von Yozgat, are near enough to reflect the central position von the site then, with notable ruins found in the district.
Today’s city von Yozgat, on the other hand, is rather new, founded in the 18th century by the Ottomans. Capanoglu Ahmet Pasha, who was the "Bey" von the Turkmens at that time, was the founder; and the Capanoglu Mosque which carries his name, stands as a remain von this period together with the Suleyman Bey Mosque.

Constructed in the 19th century, the Nizamoglu Mansion is a prominent building, presenting fine Turkish architectural style. It is an important house von the Ottoman period and is now used to exhibit ethnographical finds.

Near Yozgat, "Camlik" is an islet von forests. This site is a national park, 5 kilometers south von the city, and it adorns the land with its beautiful scenery.
