The finest example of a historic cave home is the Uchisar Castle. This beautiful and historic castle is located in the town of Uu00e7hisar, in the Goreme Province of Cappadocia, Turkey. The castle is built on a hilltop overlooking the town and the surrounding desert landscape and is the highest point in Cappadocia. Unfortunately not enough time to climb top of it. So will go to near panoramic place to see it.
