Özkonak Underground City is a fascinating historical site located in the town of Avanos. This underground city is a complex network of tunnels and rooms that were carved out of the soft volcanic rock by the ancient inhabitants of the region. The city is believed to have been built during the Byzantine era, around the 5th or 6th century AD.
The underground city consists of several levels, with the deepest level reaching up to 40 meters below the surface. The city was designed to be self-sufficient, with rooms for living, storage, and even livestock. There are also ventilation shafts, wells, and even a church within the city.
Visitors to Özkonak Underground City can explore the various levels and rooms, marveling at the ingenuity and skill of the ancient builders. The tunnels are narrow and winding, and visitors will need to stoop or crawl in some areas. The walls and ceilings are rough and uneven, adding to the sense of adventure and exploration.
The city is also home to a small museum, where visitors can learn more about the history and significance of the site. There are displays of artifacts found within the city, as well as informative panels explaining the various features of the underground complex.
Overall, Özkonak Underground City is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just looking for a unique and unforgettable experience.
