Three names: Nevşehir, Kapadokya, Kapadokya Alanı
Signs, tickets and maps use three names for three different things: a city and province, a region, and an area with its own state body.
Nevşehir
Nevşehir means new city. Until 1725 the place was the village of Muşkara; it took its present name that year. It became a province on 20 July 1954. Besides the centre it has seven districts (ilçe): Acıgöl, Avanos, Derinkuyu, Gülşehir, Hacıbektaş, Kozaklı and Ürgüp. The city lies about 1,150 m above sea level.
Kapadokya (Cappadocia)
Kapadokya is a region, not a province. The Ministry’s culture portal bounds it by the Kızılırmak river in the north, Yeşilhisar in the east, the Hasan and Melendiz mountains in the south, Aksaray in the west and Kırşehir in the north-west. People have lived there since the Chalcolithic (Copper Age). UNESCO’s World Heritage site «Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia» was inscribed in 1985.
Kapadokya Alanı
Kapadokya Alan Başkanlığı (the Cappadocia Area Authority) belongs to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Its stated mission is to protect and develop the area’s historical, cultural and natural value. Its office is at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Mah., Ali Dirikoç Bulvarı No:93, Nevşehir.
What UNESCO counts as the site
- The area between Nevşehir, Ürgüp and Avanos.
- Four more sites: Karain, Karlık, Yeşilöz and Soğanlı.
- Two underground cities: Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu.
- Two volcanoes bound it to the south and east: Erciyes Dağ, 3,916 m, and Hasan Dağ, 3,253 m. Dağ means mountain.
UNESCO World Heritage Centre · checked 27.10.2026 · source
How the rock formed: tuff and fairy chimneys
The soft rock is tuff (tüf): a light-coloured, porous rock made of volcanic ash, sand and lava particles. Wind and water wore the tuffs of the Erciyes and Hasan volcanoes into the valleys and rock shapes of Cappadocia.
How does a fairy chimney form?
Ash, sand and lava from volcanoes such as Erciyes and Hasan hardened into tuff.

Rock that stays comfortable
The rock-cut spaces stay warm in winter and cool in summer, so the Ministry’s culture portal calls their indoor climate suitable for every season.

How people carved the rock: homes, churches and stores
People dug into the soft tuff for shelter, worship and storage; Göreme, Zelve and the underground cities show all three.
From the first cells to World Heritage
- 4th centuryUNESCO says monastic activity in Cappadocia is believed to have begun in this century, with small communities of hermits living in cells cut into the rock. In Göreme monastic life lasted from the 4th to the 13th century.
- 725–842The iconoclastic period, a time of dispute over holy images. UNESCO says many sanctuaries of these years kept a strict minimum of symbols, most often crosses.
- After 842Painted churches follow (UNESCO’s dates): Tokalı and El Nazar in the 10th century, St Barbara and Saklı in the 11th, Elmalı and Karanlık (the Dark Church) at the end of the 12th and the start of the 13th.
- 1071The Seljuk Turks arrive. UNESCO says the churches keep the image of a Byzantine province from the 4th century to this date.
- 1967Göreme opens to visitors.
- 1985UNESCO inscribes Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia.

Göreme and the Dark Church
- Göreme
- Ten churches and monasteries are named in the open-air museum, among them St. Basil, Elmalı, Saint Barbara and Tokalı. They are painted two ways: on the bare rock, and in fresco-secco (paint on dry plaster).
- The Dark Church
- Karanlık Kilise has its own ticket. It has a central dome, four columns and three apses (rounded recesses). Only a small window in the narthex (entrance porch) lets in light; the Ministry says this is why the colours of its frescoes stay vivid. The Ministry dates it to the late 11th and early 12th century; UNESCO to the end of the 12th and the start of the 13th.

Zelve and Paşabağ
- Zelve lies on the steep northern slopes of Aktepe, in three valleys: a mill, churches, a monastery carved into a dome-shaped rock, a mosque, and pigeonhouses carved high up with decorated fronts.
- Paşabağ is the «Valley of the Priests»: multi-headed rock chimneys carved into chapels and living rooms, and the chapel of St Simeon with a cell.
- Çavuşin Church stands 2.5 km from Göreme on the Göreme–Avanos road, built into a massive rock on two floors and dated 964/965. It is closed for restoration (checked 27.10.2026).

The underground cities: who dug them, and why
An underground city (yeraltı şehri) is a set of rooms joined by galleries and tunnels, carved down into soft tuff. The tool above walks through two of them.
What are they?
The Ministry estimates 150–200 underground settlements in Cappadocia, mostly carved down into soft tuff. Hundreds of rooms are joined by galleries and tunnels.
Who dug them, and why?
The Ministry says they were built as a secure refuge in the event of threat or attack, and they are cool in summer and warm in winter. Sources differ on the people and the century. The culture portal says the first Christians to settle at Derinkuyu came from the Roman Empire in the 2nd century and hid in cities whose entrances were hard to notice. TDV says Christians carved underground cities as refuges in the Byzantine period, especially the 6th to 9th centuries. UNESCO says rock-cell monks later banded together into underground towns as a refuge against Arab invasions.
How were they defended?
The Ministry says Kaymaklı’s galleries are low, narrow and long to restrict the enemy’s movement. The culture portal says some tunnels are only wide enough for one person, and that large stone cylinders at their entrances and exits were used to close them for security.
How deep is Derinkuyu?
About 85 m. A ventilation shaft 55 m deep was also used as a water well. It opened to visitors in 1965 and about a tenth can be visited today.
What is different at Kaymaklı?
Its passages are low, narrow and sloping, and four floors are dug out, with rooms round the ventilation shafts. The Ministry calls it the widest underground city of those explored. The culture portal says Derinkuyu, unlike Kaymaklı, has a missionary school, a place for confession and a baptismal pool.
What did people keep there?
Stables on the first floors, kitchens used together with tandoor stoves, a place for boiling molasses, stores, and at Kaymaklı a church with two apses and a stone block with 57 holes for crushing and grinding.
Nevşehir city: a new town for a grand vizier
Until 1725 the city was a village called Muşkara. A grand vizier, the sultan’s chief minister, built a mosque complex there and gave it its name.
From Muşkara to Nevşehir
- Before 1725Muşkara, a village with a castle from the Seljuk period (a medieval Turkish dynasty).
- 1718–1730Damat İbrahim Paşa is grand vizier under Sultan Ahmed III. He was born in Muşkara, and the sultan gave him the village. Damat means son-in-law.
- 1725The village takes the name Nevşehir, «new city», with tax relief to draw settlers.
- 1726–27His külliye is complete: a mosque with a medrese (a school of Islamic learning), a primary school, an imaret (a public kitchen), a han (an inn), a hamam (a bath) and two fountains.
- 20 July 1954Nevşehir becomes a province.

Two food words on a menu: testi kebabı and pekmez
Two words you may meet in Nevşehir are testi kebabı, a kebab cooked in a clay pot, and pekmez, a thick fruit syrup.
Testi kebabı
Testi is a clay jug, and kebap means roast meat. Meat and vegetables go into the pot, its mouth is sealed with dough, and it cooks for about two hours in embers, a tandır or an oven. The traditional pots come from Avanos. At the table the dough is taken off. In tourist restaurants the neck is often broken with a cleaver for show; the portal says that is not traditional.
