   Kaymaklı Underground City, located in the Kaymaklı district of Nevşehir, is one of the largest underground cities in Cappadocia.

Offering a fully equipped settlement with ventilation shafts, stables, food depots, churches, and living quarters, Kaymaklı extends 20 meters below ground and has eight floors (four of which are open to visitors). This impressive structure, capable of hosting thousands of people simultaneously, is one of the finest examples of Cappadocia's subterranean architecture.
