| It is located within the borders of the Gökceali Village; 5 km north of Catalca. The region was opened as a picnic area for public use by the Ministry of Forestry. The caves which were carved into the ridges behind an expansive meadow resemble the rock colonies in Cappadocia. Rooms; stairs; passages; multi-storey structures are common in the caves. It was explored by BUMAK. Horacek made a research on the bats inhabiting the cave. This site is visited in 2009 during the survey executed by S. Aydingün and found to be very compatible with prehistoric way of life due to its geological structure. Human made multi-level cave system as well as the workmanship of carving and stairway in Phrygia Valley shows resemblance with Cappadocia [Aydıngün 2011:357]. |
