Mucur Underground City

There are numerous underground cities in the Cappadocia region. Dating from the 3rd and 4th centuries, many were built by early Christians for protection, shelter, and worship. One of these is the Mucur Underground City (Mucur Yeraltı Şehri) in the Mucur district of Kırşehir. The underground city lies seven to eight meters below the ground. The underground city features many chambers, along with narrow corridors that connect the various chambers.
