cave houses
Homes in rock
Cave houses are dwellings carved into rock formations or built into natural caves, used as permanent residences.
Found across Mediterranean regions, Central Asia, and elsewhere, they offer natural insulation and temperature regulation.
Some date back millennia; others remain inhabited today: The cave houses of Cappadocia draw thousands of tourists each year.
