Uçhisar

The volcanic rock fortress of Uçhisar, riddled with manmade rooms and tunnels used by villagers for centuries when enemy armies overtook the surrounding plains. See http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/30403605 for a newer (and nicer!) picture of the castle taken from a different perspective.

This is amazing how people lived like that. (They would have thought that of a city hi-rise too!)

I've read about this place. Both photos of it are truly fascinating. V

Wow what a great image Helen, we can not imagine that you can live in it, I compare it with an ants nest of view, you must have seen a lot on your travels BV

Looks like a great place for a final stand. Riddled, I feel sure, with many dead ends and ambush sites. Vote.
