Military Underground City

Tatlarin is believed to have been built for military purposes, unlike other underground cities. Its wide corridors and large rooms suggest it was designed to house soldiers. Its strategic location on the Nevsehir-Aksaray road also supports this theory.

Kitchen and Church

The best-preserved sections of Tatlarin are the kitchen and church. In the kitchen, the hearth, counters, and storage areas are still clearly visible. The church contains fresco remnants. With fewer visitors, it offers a chance for detailed exploration.
