Mazı Underground City, Archaeological site in Nevşehir, Turkey
The underground settlement contains four different entrance points leading to a central hall, with corridors and tunnels carved into volcanic rock formations.
Dating back to the Roman period, this subterranean city served as a refuge for inhabitants seeking protection from invaders throughout multiple historical periods.
The underground complex includes a church accessed through a short corridor, demonstrating the religious practices of early Christian communities in Cappadocia.
The site opens daily from 8:00 to 19:00 during summer and 8:00 to 17:00 in winter, with two of the four total floors available for exploration.
A specialized winery within the complex features a chimney system that allowed grapes to be dropped directly from the surface for processing underground.
