Han Underground City
Han Yeraltı Şehri
A rock-cut settlement from the Roman and Byzantine periods beneath the center of Han town, with dwellings, churches, tombs, and storerooms.
This rock-cut underground settlement was discovered in the 2000s beneath the center of Han town and dates back to the Roman and Byzantine periods. The open areas include dwellings, prayer spaces, tombs, stables, and storerooms, all linked by passages. Although smaller than the great underground cities of Cappadocia, it sees few visitors and is neatly restored. It lies about 15 km east of Midas City, so both can be visited in one day. Admission is cheap and the interior is cool, so bring a jacket.
