Darende is a district in Malatya Province, Turkey. The district lies 46 miles (74 km) to the northwest of Malatya,[5] 87 miles (140 km) south of Sivas,[6] 110 miles (117 km) east of Kayseri.[7]

History

Darende had been known by various names including Taranda/Daranda,[8] and Derindere.[9] It has been presumed that the district had been inhabited since 7000-5000 BC[10][9] due to the estimations made for the nearby archaeological sites such as Arslantepe[10] and Cafer Höyük.[11]

The first known administrative unit in Darende was reportedly established by Hittites, and in chronological order, the governance to date was controlled by Mitanni, Assyrians, Achaemenids, Romans, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Seljuks, Danishmends, Rum Seljuks, Ilkhanates, Eretnids, Dulkadirids, Mamluks and Ottomans.[9]

Due to the configuration of the natural canyons surrounding the district (e.g. Tohma Canyon), the district has been reported to be one of the hops residing on trade, migration and military routes connecting various neigbouring regions; as an example, Šuppiluliuma I, who expanded Hittites across the Mediterranean and the Mesopotamia against Egyptian Empire, had been using the district to access the south,[12] and Basil I had been carried out his expeditions against Muslims over the district.[13]

During the Roman reign of 200 AD, Darende was one of the Roman settlements[14] which was deduced from the records that the Roman Emperor Trajan had transformed the neighbouring encampment of Melitene into a municipium against the Parthian Empire during the same period.[15] One of the Roman sites within the district is the Ozan Monument which is a single-chamber mausoleum dating back either 200 AD[15] or 50 AD[16], presumably a popular monument style in Anatolia during the Hellenistic Period.
