UÇHİSAR

UÇHİSAR

Cappadocia region is known with Uçhisar Castle, with its valleys and stone houses in the streets smelling history, in fact, it is among the `` must-see places ''. The visuality and historical richness offered by Uçhisar increased the touristic value of the town and made it the most intense area of luxury boutique hotels.

With its lines that do not differ much from the history of Cappadocia, Uçhisar became both the watchtower of the underground cities and a defense zone, with the castle chosen by the first Christians to hide.

Even if you have to climb hundreds of steps to reach the summit, you can say 'worth it' and embrace the clouds at  Cappadocia's highest point, the windiest place is Uçhisar Castle.
Especially if the sunset is close, we recommend you not to miss the fairy chimneys painted to the redness of the sun and the riot of colors reflected from the valley. Uchisar Castle is also called "the eye of Cappadocia", probably because it spreads the whole region, from the snowy head of Erciyes, the highest mountain of Anatolia, to Mount Hasan. The castle, which was used both for hiding and defense by the first Christians who escaped from the persecution of the Romans, was also used as a watchtower during the Seljuk period due to this feature. 

The majesty of the Uçhisar Castle, which resembles the multi-storey, multi-window skyscrapers of the city life, is due to the silhouette formed by the junction of two pointed fairy chimneys with a height of 100 meters when measured from the north. One of these fairy chimneys is called "Aga's Castle" and the smaller one is called "Cavusun Castle".

The top of the castle not only offers a spectacular view, but also allows you to touch the history. You encounter water cisterns and carved tombs, and you create a war scene in your dreams with stone cannonballs released on the enemy. In the interior, where you can climb the stairs, there are plenty of rooms, cellars, shelters and depots, and there are traces of how the people of that time lived. The castle has been a home for people with its rooms carved until the 1950s and has been used for about 1000 years.
