==History== Kangal was known in the time of emperor Diocletian under the name Euspena and later during the Byzantine Empire as Spynin. The Byzantine general Eustathios Argyros was buried here in the monastery of St Elizabeth which had been constructed by his grandfather Leon. The town, known in Ottoman times as Qangal, had an Armenian church until the first massacres against the Armenians in 1895.
