Göreme valley and its surroundings contain rock-hewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of Byzantine art in the post-Iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns – the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century – can also be seen there.The arrival of Arab raiding parties in Anatolia in the 7th and 8th centuries drove the monks underground and they took local Christian communities with them forming the underground cities you can explore today.


Goreme.Turkey. Was there in 1973.Pueblos got nothing like this place !!!

Ironic as it is, seeing as how I hate religion, I'd have to go with Renaissance era churches and cathedrals. Not ancient to say the least, but still pretty dated.

I have a fondness for Byzantine architecture, especially churches.

Whereas gothic churches often give you the creeps and make you feel anything but welcome, byzantine churches are often colorful, bright, inviting, and serene.

I'm having a hard time deciding what impresses me the most.
I used to have a page bookmarked that had tons of pages and countless photographs all ancient structures from all over the world, many absolutely incredible... I'll look for it in my backups of prev installs.
I wish the Hanging Gardens still existed, tho I find it odd that they are considered a great wonder, but not the tower of babel.







"My eyes have looked on the Wall of Babylon and on the Zeus by Alpheus [Olympia], and on the hanging Gardens, and the colossal Helios [Rhodes], and on the high Pyramids, and the gigantic monument of Mausolus, but when I saw the vast Temple of Artemis [Ephesus] soaring to the clouds, the others were all dimmed, for except in Heaven the Sun has never looked on like." — Antipater of Sidon (c. 100 B.C.) on the Seven Wonders.



There's a strange trend going on in the pictures on this page

Babylonian architecture was amazing! Too bad that city was damned.
