ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The city of Adana is located in the middle of the plain of Cilicia. It was the seat of vilayet. In the plain of Cilicia, there were cultivated cereals, cotton, rice and sugarcane. The crossing of the railway line Constantinople-Baghdad from Adana constituted a key driver of development for the city and the surrounding area. In the late 19th century, Adana had already become an important commercial and entrepreneurial centre with approximately 70.000 inhabitants. |
