Seyitgazi (in ancient times Nakoleia ) is a city in the district of the same name in the Turkish province of Eskişehir and at the same time a district of the Büyükşehir belediyesi Eskişehir (metropolitan municipality / metropolitan province ) created in 1993 . It is located 38 km southeast of the center of Eskişehir and received the status of a Belediye (municipality) as early as 1917 .

Nicoleia initially belonged to the Phrygian Empire and fell in 133 BC. To the Roman Empire . In 366 the Roman Emperor Valens achieved the final victory over his adversary Procopius here after the Battle of Thyatira . In 399 the city, now part of the Eastern Roman Empire , was briefly captured by Ostrogothic troops under Tribigild . To 768 Nakoleia part remained of the Byzantine Empire, but was then conquered by the Arabs and in honor of their legendary leader Battal Gazi in Seyitgazi renamed. The name Nakoleia, however, lives on in the Roman Catholic titular archbishopric of Nacolia .

Since one of the first mosques in Anatolia was built in the area, Seyitgazi is of great importance in the eyes of the Muslim population. The mosque from the 13th century and the associated dervish monastery are located on a hill directly southeast of the city. Battal Gazi's seven-meter-long coffin ( Türbe ) is housed in the mosque . His lover, a Byzantine princess, is also laid out there. The monastery houses an archaeological museum with finds from the place and the surrounding area.

At Seyitgazi, 10 km in the direction of Kırka , there is a junction to Midas Şehir , one of the most important Phrygian sites in Turkey.

In Phrygian times this area was probably forested, but there are hardly any trees between Eskişehir and Seyitgazi today. The slightly hilly landscape is instead characterized by wheat fields that are irrigated through canals.
