Cappadocia having great history was the population zone of the Assyrian civilization which has hosted the Hittite, Frig, Pers, Roman Seljuk Turks, and Ottoman civilizations. The first Christians escaped from the persecution of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century B.C. moved to the Cappadocia over the Antakya and Kayseri cities and settled here. The region has very interesting underground settlements called 'underground cities'.The first Christians finding the underground cities from Cappadocia have been hidden in these underground cities whose gates were made in such a way that they couldn’t be easily observed and they have escaped from the persecution of the Roman soldiers. Due to that, they had lived in the underground cities for a long duration without being able to go out they have developed these underground cities by making provisions rooms, ventilation chimneys, wine production places, churches, abbeys, water wells, toilets, and meeting rooms.
