History
Cappadocia’s rock-cut architecture was shaped by volcanic tuff and refined by centuries of Hittite, Roman and Byzantine occupation; underground cities served as communal refuges in times of conflict.
Conservation
The soft tuff is vulnerable to erosion and visitor impact—stay on marked trails, avoid touching frescoes and support local guides who follow preservation best practices.
