Substructure

In a thesis by Necmiye Funda Yaka it is stated that "To ensure flat land for the central area western and
northern structures were constructed with one floor below. These substructures face in opposite directions and they have direct connection with the ground, hence they are called lower galleries instead of basement."

I had the pleasure of visiting much of these structures and show them here, some have a glimpse of the upper level.
