At about 80 miles Northeast of Ankara (former Ancyra) in Northern Turkey, the city of Gangra-Germanicopolis is now the modern Çankiri. Today this province’s prefecture counts more than 60 000 inhabitants settled at the bottom of a deep and broad valley 723 meters above sea level, between the Eldivan uplands in the West (1.12 miles) and Geçmis’ in the East (1.58 miles), at the confluence of two small rivers, of which the main one, the Aci Cayi, flows into a great river in Center Turkey – the Kizilirmak (Halys River in ancient times). Vital Cuinet did not fail to point out all of Çankiri’s beauties at the end of the 19th century when the city and its surroundings were still spared by the deep changes of the modern era.
