Life was shaped inside the stone.
Rock-cut storage spaces, arches and local craftsmanship tell the story of living with Cappadocia’s landscape.
Stone and Ortahisar
Cappadocia’s stone shaped much more than the scenery. People carved living spaces, storage rooms and structures into the landscape.
The rock stores and stone-building traditions of Ortahisar reveal a close relationship between people and place.
