These saints encouraged the creation of monastic complexes and temples in Cappadocia.
They lived in the 4th century in Cappadocia. Underground cities in Cappadocia Tuff in Cappadocia is durable on one side and very easy to work on the other.
4 thousand years ago it was not difficult for the Hittites to understand this and they built underground cities.
After the death of the state, they were also used for protective purposes.
It is even known that the army of Alexander the Great stopped in one of these cities.
And the first Christians were hiding here from their persecutors.
There are more than 200 underground cities on the territory of Cappadocia.
Each was designed for about 50 families and could stay there for 3 months without even rising to the surface.
In the underground cities in Cappadocia there were supplies of food, water, wineries, living rooms, kitchens.
The largest underground cities in Cappadocia are Derinkuyu, Kaymakli, Ozkonak, Saratly.

As Cappadocia was formed 8 million years ago, as a result of tectonic movements, 3 volcanoes erupted in central Anatolia - Erciyes, Hasan and Melendiz.
Before that, there was a plateau in the triangle between the volcanoes.
After the volcanic eruptions, ash and lava covered the plateau with an even layer.
The climate changed, and the frozen lava was transformed into basalt, and the ash into tuff.
Winds blow, rivers flow, it rains, while tuff and basalt are slowly destroyed.
Thus, amazing natural formations are obtained.
We call them "rock mushrooms", and the locals call them "Fairy pipes."
