The Underground City




Sent from Samsung Mobile


There are approximately thirty under ground cities.  The one we visited was connected to the next nearest city by a 7km long underGround tunnel. The city was fully functional with areas for livestock, wine cellars, Olive presses,kitchens,living rooms and wells. There were round stones to roll across tunnels to protect yourself if you are under attack. Originally the cities were used by the local people to protect themselves from marauders.  They fell into disuse for  a while. Christians hiding from The Roman's started using them for the first few hundred years AC. as it was preferable to being fed to lions.
