Located approximately 18 kilometers south of Ürgüp and 10 kilometers east of Kaymaklı Underground City is Mazı Underground City. The city, originally known as Mataza, showcases rock-carved tombs and churches. This underground refuge spans eight levels and could accommodate up to 6,000 people for prolonged periods.
The city features four distinct entrances, each leading to a central hall. The main entrance is cleverly concealed with a rolling stone, enhancing its defensive capabilities. Inside, visitors can explore a variety of spaces, including barns with carved troughs, a winery accessed via a chimney, living quarters, and a church with a hidden chimney leading to other parts of the cave system. The church's chimney, adorned with small steps, showcases the advanced engineering skills of its creators.
