Boğazkale Archaeological Site is famous for
ancient ruins of the Hittite city of Hattusa situated in Çorum
province of Turkey. Boğazkale is the site of the ancient Hittite
city Hattusa and its sanctuary Yazılıkaya. Because of its rich
historic and architectural heritage, the town is a member of the
Norwich-based European Association of Historic Towns and Regions

Ancyra Ferrea
The ruins of Ancyra Ferrea are nearby. This city was part of the
Roman province of Phrygia Pacatiana, and at an early stage had a
Christian community. Its bishop Florentius was one of the fathers of
the First Council of Nicaea in 325. He was also among the Eastern
bishops who departed from the Council of Sardica and set up a rival
council in Philippopolis in 344. Philippus took part in the Council
of Chalcedon in 351, Cyriacus in the Third Council of Constantinople
(680) and the Trullan Council (692), Constantius in the Second
Council of Nicaea (787), and Michael in the Photian Council of
Constantinople (879).
No longer a residential bishopric, Ancyra Ferrea is today listed by
the Catholic Church as a titular see.
