Aydıntepe, Bayburt’s underground beauty

An ancient underground city carved directly from the bedrock in the eastern province of Bayburt has become the most popular local attraction, while researchers continue their work to uncover the mystery of its creation and function.

The Aydıntepe underground city, which was discovered during construction work in 1988, is located two to five meters below the earth and is made up of galleries, chambers and wide halls carved out of the rock. 

The chambers open up to nearly one-meter-wide and two-meter-high galleries, which themselves open into wide halls.
