Kasaba

Kasaba or Kasabaköy is a small town 17 kilometres from Kastamonu, Turkey. Its population in 1905 was about 23,000, but the village has shrunk to only a few dozen households. The town does not occupy any ancient site of importance but there is a mosque, the Mahmut Bey Camii, built by a representative of Jandarid dynasty in the second half of the 14th century AD.  This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Chisholm, Hugh, ed (1911).
