The fairy chimneys, which are called Peribacaları in the Turkish language, are the magnificent ruins of the Cappadocia region, which has been home to many civilizations since the Bronze Age, and whose effects are seen as many caves, churches, monasteries, and retreats. Underground cities were built in tuffy rocks in the lower part of the Urgup formation, known as the Poplar tuffs in the early Christian period. Some of these underground structures are at least 1500 years old. Therefore, while many historians are constantly investigating the impact of these underground structures on civilization, engineers continue to study the engineering properties of these extraordinary materials for construction material purposes.

They are places with high thermal insulation of underground structures. It is known that the tuffs found in Urgup are superior to all other food storage systems in terms of food storage and long-term durability.

Among these borders, Avanos, Urgup, Goreme, Uchisar, and Ihlara surroundings are known as the "Rocky Cappadocia Region ''. In addition, Christians fleeing the persecution of Rome, began to take refuge in the inaccessible borders of Cappadocia. 

Finding the easiest carving of soft volcanic tuff, expanding the natural caves and connecting them together, and building shelter places where these people desperately seek peace and security, they created underground cities, houses, churches, and monasteries which are among the most visited places today.
