Uchisar Castle : Most Beautiful Panoramic Spot in Cappadocia
The town of Uchisar is on the left-hand side of the Nevşehir Urgüp road, 8 km from Nevşehir and 12 km from Urgüp. It is one of the more popular destinations for travellers. The houses were first built around the castle but because of the increasing population and erosion, in time, habitation moved towards the lower parts of the valley, leaving the citadel in the middle of the town.
Uchisar Castle
The citadel has a large cave inside and the three different tunnels leading to it meet in a spacious room. One of the tunnels has a millstone door and a room for the guards behind it. There are also three rooms and some storage depots along with other tunnels. However, some of these have collapsed and are filled with stones and soil.
From the top of the citadel, the view of the entire Göreme valley is outstanding and makes this place popular for keen photographers.
The town’s people have started opening their houses as pensions to the travellers and these pensions are very much liked by the tourists as they get the breathtaking view of the Göreme valley from the garden or through the window of their rooms.
