DescriptionView of Cappadocia edit.jpg
العربية: قباذق (كبادوكيا)، هي منطقة تقع في وسط
تُركيا، وتشتهرُ
بِمُنتزه غوريم الوطني، الذي أُضيف إلى قائمة
مواقع التراث العالميالتابعة لليُونيسكو سنة
1985. تُشيرُ الأدلَّة الأثريَّة إلى أنَّ أقدم استيطانٍ بشريٍّ للمنطقة يرجع إلى
العصر الروماني وتحديدًا إلى
بدايات العهد المسيحي. تشتهرُ المنطقة كذلك بتشكيلاتها الصخريَّة الفريدة التي يُطلق عليها عُلماء طبقات الأرض "المداخن الطبيعيَّة"، والتي يصلُ ارتفاع بعضها إلى 40 متر (130 قدم). خلال آلاف السنين، نحتت الرياح والأمطار عدَّة طبقات من الرماد البُركاني المُقسَّى، أو
الطفة، حتَّى تشكَّل هذا المنظر الطبيعي المُتموِّج. خلال الفترة المُمتدَّة من القرن الرابع حتَّى القرن الثالث عشر الميلاديّ، قام أهالي المنطقة بِحفر أنفاقٍ في أسطح الصُخور المكشوفة في سبيل تشييد مساكن، ومتاجر، وكنائس يأوون إليها، شكَّلت كُلها إحدى روائع العمارة البيزنطيَّة. يزُورُ هذا الموقع أكثر من 500,000 سائح خلال السنة.
English: Cappadocia, a region in central
Turkey, is known for its
Göreme National Park, which was added to the
UNESCOWorld 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 chimneysrock 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. More than 500,000 tourists visit the region each year.
