Cappadocia (/kæpəˈdʃə/; also Capadocia; Turkish: Kapadokya, from Greek: Καππαδοκία Kappadokía, from Ancient Greek: Καππαδοκία, from Old Persian: 𐎣𐎫𐎱𐎬𐎢𐎣 Katpatuka) is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in Nevşehir Province, in Turkey.
In the time of Herodotus, the Cappadocians were reported as occupying the whole region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates and the Armenian Highland, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.[1]
The name was traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history and is still widely used as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage.
卡帕多細亞希臘語Καππαδοκία),又稱為卡帕達奇亞, 亞洲歷史上的一個地區名,大致位於安納托利亞東南部。在古希臘歷史學家希羅多德的時代,卡帕多細亞包括了從托羅斯山脈黑海之間的廣大地域。
如此定義的卡帕多細亞,其南面以托羅斯山脈為界,東抵幼發拉底河,北面與本都接壤,西面與中央鹽鹼荒原相接。具體的範圍之廣度則很難予以確定。斯特拉波是唯一的專門記述過這一地區情況的古典作家,但是他誇大了卡帕多細亞的面積;人們現在知道,卡帕多細亞東西大約為400公里,而南北只有240公里。
