Kaymakli Underground City

This city was built by the people who converted to christianity to avoid persecution during the 6th to 9th century. They used this place as a a shelter and a safe place for worship.











This millstone used to act as a door to block the tunnel. A wedge is used to hold it in place when rolled across the tunnel  and therefore it can only be opened from the inside.
