Ortahisar Castle, also known as the most spectacular fairy chimney of Cappadocia, is located in Ortahisar town of Nevşehir. Said to be one of the first multi-storey settlements in the world, this castle is surrounded by steep valleys on three sides. Its geography enabled the castle to be used for protection and shelter in ancient times. The castle, where the first settlement of the town started, became the center of Ortahisar in time with the settlements built around it.

The history of the castle is very old. After the Hittite, Phrygian, Lycian, Persian, Roman and Byzantine domination, the region came under the rule of the Turks. The castle, which has witnessed many victories and defeats throughout history, consists of chambers and tunnels built by carving rocks. It has a very rich cultural heritage and with this feature, it was the first region in Cappadocia to be...

Two major towering rock dwellings (Kalesi - Castle in Turkish) you must climb in Cappadocia are Uchisar Castle and this one - The Ortahisar. Both of them are dramatic rock formations towering above their towns (15 min drive is between them) where people in early middle ages made their homes carving the rocks. The scene while driving and approaching them looks surreal. Ortahisar is more difficult to climb, as the staircases are steeper and there're many sharp and low ceilings turns inside the rock - beware you must be in good physical and mobility condition to do that. Once up, you'll be rewarded with fantastic views of the surrounding area. Ortahisar is not included in the Cappadocia Pass, but entry fee is very cheap...

Bu gibi yorumlarla size daha iyi yardımcı olmamı desteklemek için yorumu beğenirseniz sevinirim. Ortahisar’da en erken tarihi devirler ise M.Ö. 1500’de Etilerin, M.Ö. 1200’lerde Frigyalıların, M. Ö. 657 yıllarında Likyalılar ve Perslerin hakim olduğu dönemler. M.Ö. 27 dönemlerinde Roma, M.S. 4 – 10. Yüzyıllar arasında ise Bizans hakimiyetine girmiş ve 1071’deki Malazgirt Zaferi ile Türklerin olmuş. 1916 yılında kasaba olan Ortahisar, Kapadokya’da turizme ilk açılan yer ve birçok medeniyet görüp geçirdiğinden oldukça zengin kültürel bir mozaiğe sahip.

Bulunduğu kasabanın adıyla özdeşleşen Ortahisar Kalesi Kapadokya’nın en büyük peribacası diye de anılıyor. Tıpkı bir Babil kulesi gibi yükselen kale, dünyanın çok katlı yerleşimlerinin ilk bilinenlerinden ve İpek Yolu kervanlarının uğrak yerlerinden. Üç yanı dik vadilerle çevrili Ortahisar Kalesi’nin bulunduğu kayalar, savaşların bol olduğu eski dönemlerde korunma ve sığınma amacıyla ilk Etiler tarafından oyulmuş. Daha sonraları ise Romalılar, Bizanslılar, Selçuklular ve Osmanlılar zamanında da sığınak olarak kullanılmış.  Kasabanın ilk yerleşimi de kalede başlamış, nüfus fazlalaştıkça yamaçlardan aşağılara basamaklar halinde inen 2 katlı yeni evler yapılmış. Nevşehir Ortahisar Kalesi 1470 yılında Fatih Sultan Mehmet’in emriyle Osmanlı topraklarına katılmış. Kalenin doğu tarafındaki manzaradan görünen küçük Ortahisar Kalesi de denilen İshak Paşa Kalesi’nin ise Ortahisar Kalesi’nin fethedilmesiyle alakalı olduğu söyleniyor. Şöyle ki; Fatih Sultan Mehmet, Karaman sorununu çözmesi için İshak Paşa’yı bölgeye gönderir. İshak Paşa gelir gelmez bugün Temenni Tepesi de denilen Ürgüp Kalesi’ni almak ister. Sıra Ortahisar Kalesi’nin fethine geldiğinde ise halk İshak Paşa’ya karşı korunmaya geçer ve kalenin giriş çıkışlarını koca değirmen taşlarıyla kapatır. İshak Paşa kaleye bu yolla giremeyeceğini anlayınca yerin altından tüneller kazdırır ve ancak tünellerden girerek kaleyi fetheder. İshak Paşa Kalesi’nin girişindeki katran kuyusunun da Ortahisar Kalesi’nin fethinde açıldığı...
