CEVAP:

Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia lie in the mid-western part of Turkey. The extraordinary landscape was formed millions of years ago, the combined work of lava spitting volcanoes, wind and water. In a spectacular landscape, entirely sculpted by erosion, the Göreme valley and its surroundings contain rockhewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of Byzantine art in the post-Iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns - the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century - can also be seen there. Religious Byzantine paintings can be found on the walls of the churches and monasteries.
