NIGDEH (Arab. Nakidah)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 674 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NIGDEH (Arab. Nakidah) , the
chief
  town of a sanjak of the same name in the
Konia
  vilayet of
Asia
 
Minor
 , situated on the Kaisarieh-Cilician
Gates
  road. It is remarkable for the beauty of its buildings, dating from almost all ages of the Seljuk period. After the fall of the sultanate of Rum (of which it had been one of the
principal
  cities), Nigdeh became independent, and, according to Ibu Batuta, ruinous, and did not pass into Ottoman hands till the time of Mahommed II. It represents no classical town, but, with Bor, has inherited the importance of Tyana,

whose site lies about lo m. S.W. A Hittite-inscribed
monument
 , brought perhaps from Tyana, has been found at Nigdeh. The
population
  (20,000) includes a large Greek and a small Armenian community. The Orthodox
metropolitan
  of
Iconium
  resides here.
