Kaymakli Underground City

Cappadocia Top 2 in Important Religious Institution

To travel to Turkey, you must go to Cappadocia. To Cappadocia, three things must be done: hot air balloon, underground city and cave hotel. There are many underground cities in Kapa, and the Kaymakli underground city is very well protected and developed. It is said that there are 10 floors underground, and we only dare to go down to the 8th floor. The design of the ventilation system is very scientific, without the feeling of underground at all.

The scenic spots that follow the red and green lines are worth seeing with the explanation. This dungeon was used for refuge in ancient wars. It is rugged and winding in all directions. Most of the places can only be passed by one person. It can be used as a guard against the enemy. There are a total of 8 floors inside, with all the facilities available. When we went there, the explanation always emphasized not to look at the comfort or not, because this was originally for war, and the important thing is to live. [Facilities] There are kitchens and living rooms, as well as a special wine cellar church, etc., which can accommodate many people living in it, which is like a small society. There are some roads that are harder to walk in when you enter, but it feels worth seeing, a bit of Chinese tunnel warfare.

The underground city Kaymakli was excavated by Christians in the 7th century to escape persecution in Rome. There are 8 floors underground, more than 1,000 rooms, and the ventilation system is very good. Entering inside, there are stairs everywhere in the corridor room. If there is no sign, it is easy to get lost. There are everything in it, there is a place to make wine, a place to store things, a place to fetch water, a public kitchen, etc. At that time, they had enough storage to live in it for half a year without using it.

This is a relic with a history of two thousand years. There are a total of 8 floors underground, and a total of 4 floors have been excavated. In the past, the people opened many caves in the rocky mountains to avoid foreign military leaders. At the same time, they dug underground cities, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people and become the largest "refuge place".

To travel to Turkey, you must go to Cappadocia. The landforms and underground cities of Cappadocia are absolutely spectacles. The underground cities have more than 2,000 years of history and are well preserved. It is said that there are 10 floors underground. We have limited time and we have reached the 8th floor. The twists and turns, combined with life, social, belief, war defense and other functions in one, embodies the wisdom of the ancients. Shaft ventilation system must be praised. It is polite and fresh, without the feeling of being underground.
