The Battle of Larende, fought in 1468, was the last major confrontation between the two great Anatolian Turkish states of the time—the Karamanids and the Ottomans. The battle symbolized which power would ultimately remain dominant in Anatolia. The lands of Larende, over which the two Turkish rulers fought, have today become one of the settlement areas of Syrians (not to be confused with Larende in Karaman).
