How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The underground Templar stronghold, with a market, chapel and prison carved into the rock.
The real place
A real rock-cut refuge city about 85 m deep; the game puts it near the sea, though the real one is far inland.
Visiting
About 30 km from Nevşehir; the tunnels are low and narrow, so it is not for the claustrophobic.
