Viewpoint
Temenni Hill
Ürgüp, Nevşehir
A viewpoint hill rising in the middle of Ürgüp, named after the Seljuk tomb on its summit and its wish-making tradition, overlooking the town and the valleys.
Its story
Temenni Hill is a natural rise in central Ürgüp, standing about 80 meters above its surroundings, with steep rock walls on its southern, eastern and western slopes. It takes its name from the tradition of making wishes and tying pieces of cloth at the tombs on the hill; 'temenni' means wish. One of the tombs on the hill is popularly attributed to the Seljuk Sultan Kılıçarslan IV and dates to the 13th century. From the viewing terrace at the top, there is a wide view of Ürgüp's stone houses, the Kayakapı neighborhood and the surrounding valleys.
