You should be ready to go eight floors deep under the ground. This is a city hand carved into stone downwards into eight floors under the ground. The Derinkuyu Underground City, leaving its guests in awe with its mystical atmosphere and glorious structure, is also one of the oldest settlements in Nevşehir.

Place of a Muslim Scholar

The cradle of civilizations, Nevşehir has played a significant role in two of three divine religions throughout history. It had a great role in the spread of Christianity in Anatolia and raising monks, and it also welcomed a philosopher and a man of religion, Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli who was one of the most important figures in the history of Islam. The city became the homeland of the scholar and his grave since the 13th century. This museum, one of the most important spots for religious tourism in Nevşehir will make an impression on you with the wisdom of mystical teachings as soon as you step inside the courtyard!
