Emirgazi
Doğanhisar is a district of Konya.
It is understood from the cuneiform tablets unearthed during the excavations in Eski Kışla and Arısama that the first settlement in the region started during the Hittite period. Arısama Mountain in the North of the district contains a castle, rock carvings, churches and large underground cities of historical importance. 2 altars and 3 inscriptions were found in the Eskikışla settlement, located on the western slopes of the mountain, whose historical value is similar to the Hittite hieroglyphs, but written with a different hieroglyphic script. The translation of the inscriptions is controversial. The altar and inscriptions are exhibited in the Istanbul Archeology Museum. Romans and Byzantines also used the castle and underground city on the settlement center, which is thought to belong to the Hittite period and is called the Old Barracks. After the Turkish tribes settled in Anatolia, this castle and the places where today's Emirgazi is located came under the rule of the Anatolian Seljuks.
Emirgazi, whose name is not mentioned in the Ottoman yearbooks, was a village in the Republican period and became a district in 1990.
