Gazligol – Afyon / Turkey

Ayazini
Ayazini is a town located on both sides of the stream bed about 4 km east from Eskişehir state highway 28 km from Afyonkarahisar. The geological structure of the region is tuff rocky. In other words, sandy, micaceous soil covered the land with surface erosion formed from volcano lava. This natural belt, which starts from Seyildi village and extends to Döğer subdistrict, is covered with Fairy Chimneys. The accumulation of history from the Hittites can be seen in the Ayazini village. In the religious center, which was called Metropolis (Big City) during the Roman and Byzantine periods, you can find a large church carved into rock formations, burial chambers and a castle. The best example of interconnected multi-storey rock-carved structures is the “Avdalaz Castle” located in the village of Ayazini.
