The municipality of Beypazarı (48,732 inhabitants in 2020; 181,436 ha) is 
located 100 km north-west of Ankara.
Beypazarı, known in the antiquity as 
Lagania, was renamed to Lagania-Anastasiopolis after the visit of Byzantine 
Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus (491-518) to the local bishop.
Under the Seljuk 
rule, Beypazarı was settled by Turkmen tribes, especially the Kayı. Gazi 
Gündüzalp, the grandfather of Osman Bey, the founder of the Ottoman Empire, was 
buried in the village of Hırkatepe, part of Beypazarı. At the time, the town was 
a main trade center located on the road connecting Istanbul to Baghdad.
