Located within the boundaries of Nevşehir province, Cappadocia is a remarkable open-air museum built atop tuff rock formations created by millions of years of volcanic eruptions from Mount Erciyes, Hasan and Güllüdağ. With fairy chimneys, rock-cut churches from the Christian era, underground cities that once sheltered thousands of people, and breathtaking valley panoramas, this land was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
