A sprawling network of tunnels and underground rooms discovered beneath a Byzantine-era fortress in Nevşehir, Turkey, has been discovered by archaeologists. It is the biggest hiding place ever found in Cappadocia.
Dating back at least to early Byzantine times, the tunnels are mostly still unexplored, but initial studies suggest its size and features may rival those of Derinkuyu, the largest excavated underground city in Cappadocia, which could house 20,000 people.
