Forces of nature - wind, surface drain formed in the soft rock unique nature and landscape configurations.The hidden valleys attracted throughout history communities seeking for shelter. At earliest stage natural caves were housed, but with time the qualities of the soft rock were discovered as a building material and settlers began to dig their dwelling in the rock.
Cappadocia saw the penetration of early Christianity in Anatolia on the footsteps of St. Paul… The first Christians came to settle in the natural grottoes almost inaccessible in this lost land. They created the rock carved churches and the underground cities. The rock carved churches were painted with naive and brilliant colors relating the important episodes of the Bible.
The entire region is one of the most exciting and diverse attractions on the planet and ... Of course, a photographer's paradise!
