Dulkadirli: cave system with a big open courtyard

Üç Ayak Kilise: ruined brick church in the middle of nowhere

Back to Cappadocia with all villages.

Dulkadirli

The people here call it underground city, some say it was a Hittite prison. In Byzantine times it had served as a monastery. The origin of this cave system is unknown. To get into it you have to walk through an underground passage. The walls show a few decoration and it looks as if there had been some wall paintings.

Only with Eski Gümüşler comparable is, that the people had cut a rectangular hole into the rock, about 10m deep. This hole is surrounded by the cave system with windows to the open inner space and cave rooms in the rock.
