History
Cappadocia’s soft tuff was shaped into dwellings and monasteries from Hittite through Byzantine eras; Uçhisar’s castle served as a defensive high point and look‑out for local settlements.
Conservation
Tourism pressures can strain fragile tuff formations and trails—stay on paved areas, avoid climbing fragile chimneys and support local operators who follow capacity limits.
