Summary

Description
English: Göreme Valley in w:Cappadocia.Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, is known for its Göreme National Park, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.The first period of settlement within the region reaches to Roman period of Christian era. The area is also famous for its fairy chimneys rock formations, some of which reach 40 meters (130 feet) in height. Over thousands of years, wind and rain eroded layers of consolidated volcanic ash, or tuff, to form the sweeping landscape. From the 4th to 13th century AD, occupants of the area dug tunnels into the exposed rock face to build residences, stores, and churches which are home to irreplaceable Byzantine art.
Français : La vallée de Göreme, en Cappadoce (Turquie). La cappadoce est une région de turquie centrale connue pour ses paysages couverts de cheminées de fée et son habitat troglodytique. Ses paysages proviennent de l'érosion par le vent et la pluie de tuff volcanique partiellement (et surtout irrégulièrement) consolidé. L'habitat troglodytique s'est surtout développé du IVe au XIIIe siècle, où il a été utilisé pour des habitations, des magasins, mais surtout des églises abritant des chefs d'œuvres irremplaçables de l'art byzantin. Une partie de la région est intégrée dans le Parc national de Göreme, qui est classé depuis 1985 au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
