Uchisar Castle
I'm setting up a folder specially for my pics of the fascinating area in Turkey known as Cappadocia. It is world famous for its natural geological formations, the most well known being the "fairy chimneys" at Pasabag, and the daily hot-air balloon rides. Although entirely natural in origins, there are many old man-made cave dwellings, churches and networks of tunnels as high/deep as 11 storeys carved out from some of the strange looking hills and terrain. Some of these man-made caves have been recently converted into boutique hotels and restaurants while most of them are left empty and unused. The biggest and tallest hill with those dwellings from days gone by is shown in this pic and is called the Uchisar Castle.
