Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia are mustsee places in Türkiye as members of the UNESCO World
Heritage List. And if you should visit the area, one of the most interesting spots to visit is Derinkuyu Underground City. It is
located in Derinkuyu district of Nevşehir, what was then called Cappadocia. It is an ancient multi-level underground city with
a depth of 60 meters. It is large enough to keep as many as 20,000 people together with their animals and food stores in. It is
the largest underground city in Türkiye and is one of the several underground complexes throughout Cappadocia. According to
the Turkish Department of Culture, the Phrygians built the underground city initially in the soft volcanic rock of the area in the
8th–7th centuries BC. Later, the Byzantines completed and fully formed the city during the Byzantine era because they needed
shelters during the Arab-Byzantine wars (780–1180 CE). They used the underground city for protection from the enemies.
The city was connected with other underground cities through long tunnels. They had ventilations for air, water sources, tools
for wars, large rooms to store food and rooms for religious education in. In 1963, a resident of the area found a mysterious
room behind a wall in his home. Experts and archaeologists arrived and rediscovered the underground city. They kept digging
and reached the tunnel network. Turkish authorities opened the underground city to visitors in 1969. It is one of the top tourist
attractions of Türkiye today.
