Soanda (Ancient Greek: Σόανδα), or Soandum or Soandon (Σόανδον), was a fortified settlement of ancient Cappadocia, inhabited in Roman times.[1][2][3] The same place seems to be alluded to by Frontinus, who calls it Suenda.[4]
Its site is tentatively located near Kuşaklı Hüyük, Asiatic Turkey.[1][5]
