Town of ancient Cappadocia
Doara (
Caesarea and Tavium.[3] It was also mentioned by Hierocles as Rhegedoara (Ῥεγεδοάρα),[4] and the Notitiae Episcopatuum
.
Doara became the seat of a
Roman Catholic Church.[5]
Although
W. M. Ramsay identified Doara with Mudjur (Mucur) or Hacıbektaş (Hadji Bektash), modern scholars located its site near Duvarlı (Divarlı village in Çiftlik town, Niğde) in Asiatic Turkey.[1][6]
