Ayazini Ruins

It is known that the Ayazini Village (Ayazini köyü) was as settlement place since Phrygian Period. The family and single-person rock-cut tomb chambers from the Roman and Byzantine periods, the churches and rock-cut settlements from the Byzantine Period are carved works, as the land was suitable for such a settlement. There are masterpieces of art such as the grave chamber with standing lion figures, the grave chamber with columns, and a church carved into the rock with exterior and interior architecture work. In addition, there is the Avdalaz Castle (Avdalaz Kalesi), where the rock mass was carved and turned into a settlement, with a cistern inside. Phrygian tourism festivals are held every year in the Ayazini tourism centre. The village, which is considered Phrygia’s heart, will soon become a major tourist attraction titled, “Ayazini Village Tourist Reception Centre”.
