The ancient Roman city located in Sarayönü, Konya, has surprising dimensions for researchers.
The ancient underground city found in Turkey turns out to be much larger than initially estimated. Initially, this ancient city was believed to have a size of around 5000 m2. Recent research reveals that this mysterious ancient site actually has an area of at least 20,000 square meters. Four times larger or even more than previously estimated.
With the cooperation of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Sarayönü City Government, researchers have explored this underground city for the past two years. Their findings are truly amazing. This underground city has dozens of interconnected rooms through tunnels of various lengths and widths. Some corridors, tunnels, and galleries still need to be cleaned, so it is currently difficult to determine the exact direction.
This city dates back to the 8th century, with various discoveries such as household spaces, connected galleries, living rooms, water wells, stoves, workshops, smokestacks, oil lamps, underground spaces, warehouses, and unexplored rooms.
"According to Archaeologist and Head of Excavation at the Directorate of Konya Museum, Hasan Uguz."
Uguz explained that the parents who lived there throughout their lives used to often play in the tunnel when they were young.
The local community knows about the existence of a large underground city here, but no one can guess how big it is. Scientists were surprised to find that the tunnels, corridors, and underground spaces have an unexpected size. Uguz stated that this might be the largest underground city ever discovered in Turkey in terms of horizontal architecture.
Researchers found a very wide corridor, suspected to be the main road. On the left and right sides of the corridor, there are galleries connected through tunnels and other corridors. This city provides a comfortable living, almost like living inside a palace.
Uguz conveyed to Anadolu that the archaeological investigation is still in progress. During the excavation, scientists discovered various artifacts, such as altar-shaped tombstones, Roman-era tombstones, intricate walls, and structures with a north-south orientation resembling a wooden cross.
