How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

A Bayezid District square; beneath it Ezio follows a buried river to another Masyaf Key.

The forum was named after a giant bronze ox-head; it has never been excavated.

Nothing ancient is visible; Aksaray is a busy transport hub today, so treat it as a quick stop.
