UCHISAR is a troglodyte village situated 4 km east of Göreme. It is famous for the huge rock formation once used as a fortification. This extraordinary rock is the highest peak in the region and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the whole of Cappadocia with Mt. Erciyes in the distance.Most rooms in the castle are connected to each other with stairs, tunnels and passages. At the entrances of many rooms, there are millstone doors, just like the ones in the underground settlements, used to control access to these places. Due to erosion it is unfortunately not possible to reach all the rooms. Most of the rooms, located on the north side of the castle are still in use as pigeon houses (dovecotes) today. Farmers used these pigeon houses to collect the droppings of pigeons which is an excellent natural fertilizer for the orchards and vineyards

The valley is also home to several cave dwellings and chapels that were carved into the rock formations by early Christian monks.

Fairy chimneys are unique rock formations that are found in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. They are tall and slender columns of volcanic tuff, topped with a larger rock that protects the column from erosion.

Fairy chimneys were formed over millions of years through a process of erosion and volcanic activity. They are found in various shapes and sizes, some reaching up to 40 meters tall, and have been a popular tourist attraction in the region for centuries.

The local people of Cappadocia have also carved these fairy chimneys into homes, churches, and monasteries for centuries. These cave dwellings provided shelter from harsh weather conditions and served as a refuge during times of conflict.

Today, many of the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site and are a popular tourist attraction.
