Its story
The Soğanlı Valley is in the Yeşilhisar district of Kayseri, in the southeastern part of the Cappadocia region. The valley divides into northern and southern branches at the village of Yukarı Soğanlı; in both branches there are churches, chapels and dwellings carved into the tuff. Among the churches that can be visited today are the Karabaş, Yılanlı (Snake) and Kubbeli (Domed) churches. The old wine rooms in the village show that viticulture has a long history in the area. Soğanlı is also known for the colorful cloth dolls made by village women.
