Underground Cities

WELCOME to Cold War City
(population: 4). It covers 240 acres
and has 60 miles of roads and its own
railway station. It even includes a pub
called the Rose and Crown.

The underground cities of Cappadocia
are worthy of a visit. Let's take
Derinkuyu for example. The one time
home of up to 20,000 people, it's 18
storeys descend into the Anatolian
plateau 50 kms south of Goreme. Stop
and think about that for a while. A
large, market town sized community
digging a settlement out to guarantee
themselves a degree of protection.
