Goreme National Park

GOREME (Town) TURKEY
In a spectacular landscape, entirely sculptured by erosion, the Goreme Valley and its surroundings contain sanctuaries hewn into the rock, providing irreplaceable evidence of Byzantine art of the post-iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns representing a traditional human habitat, dating back to the 4th century, can also be seen there.
