It shows the beautiful natural rock formations in the middle of Asia Minor which are reminiscent of \"fairy chimneys\".\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 39 in x 26.5 in (100 cm x 68 cm)\u003cbr\u003eA travel poster printed in Turkey in the 1960s by the Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGöreme Historical National Park is in central Turkey. The park features a rocky, water- and wind-eroded landscape with a network of ancient, interconnecting underground settlements.\u003cbr\u003eThe National Park is located in the volcanic region of Mount Hasan and Mount Erciyes in Central Anatolia, in the vicinity of Ürgüp, Çavuşin and Göreme. The park area consists of plateaus and high hills, dissected by streams and river valleys carved out by water, the valleys having steeply sloping sides. Part of this rugged area consists of basalt and thick beds of tuff. The tuff is the result of ash emitted from volcanoes millions of years ago, which solidified into a soft rock, and has since been overlain by solidified lava which forms a protective capping. This has been eroded over the millennia to form the multi-coloured cliffs, rock towers, pillars, tent rocks and fairy chimney rock formations present in the park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earliest signs of monastic activity in Cappadocia can be traced back to the 4th century when small anchorite communities, following the teachings of Basileios the Great, Bishop of Kayseri, started to inhabit the cells hewn in the rock. Later, the communities took refuge together in underground villages in order to avoid attacks by marauding Arabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206158983555,"sku":"L7B6","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.3347019113_93ip.jpg?v=1768961974","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1960s-goreme-valley-turkey-travel-poster-07526","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
