Acik Saray : The Open Palace of Gulsehir, Cappadocia

Again, this is one that you don’t often read about on travel lists but I personally found the Acik Saray to be a marvellous example of man’s imagination when making a home to be proud of. The name means Open Palace and the collection of wineries, chapels, schools, and cave houses carved into the tufa style rock is the typical architectural style of the Cappadocia region in history.
Unaware of its exact historical storyline, historians are still baffled but suspected previous uses for the mini town is a caravansary for travelling salesmen and Army barracks. Despite its name as a palace, they cannot find any proof or evidence that royal families or dynasties used it.
