Uçhisar Castle
Uchisar Castle is situated at the highest point of Cappadocia on the Nevsehir-Goreme road, five kilometres from the town of Goreme. There are magnificent views from the top, with Mount Erciyes in the distance.
The tall volcanic-rock outcrop is one of Cappadocia's most prominent landmarks and is visible for miles around. Full of tunnels, stairways and passageways, it was used for centuries as a place of refuge against invading armies.
