Urgup, Nevsehir (Cappadocia) Turkey
Road from Goreme to Urgup, both in Cappadocia in winter with snow covered hills. Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in Nevsehir Province, in Turkey. In the time of Herodotus, the Cappadocians were reported as occupying the whole region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates and the Armenian Highland, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia. The name was traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history and is still widely used as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage. Cappadocia lies in eastern Anatolia, in the center of what is now Turkey. The relief consists of a high plateau over 1000 m in altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks, with Mount Erciyes (ancient Argaeus) near Kayseri (ancient Caesarea) being the tallest at 3916 m. The boundaries of historical Cappadocia are vague, particularly towards the west. To the south, the Taurus Mountains form the boundary with Cilicia and separate Cappadocia from the Mediterranean Sea. To the west, Cappadocia is bounded by the historical regions of Lycaonia to the southwest, and Galatia to the northwest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Urgup, Nevsehir in Cappadocia, Turkey. The winter landscape is transformed into a magical wonderland as snow blankets the hills along the road from Goreme to Urgup. Cappadocia, a historical region in Central Anatolia, holds a rich heritage and is known for its extraordinary natural wonders. The name "Cappadocia" has been used throughout history and continues to be recognized internationally as a tourism concept that encompasses this region's exceptional features. One can easily see why it has become such a popular destination with its fairy chimneys and unique cultural treasures. Situated in eastern Anatolia, Cappadocia boasts an impressive relief characterized by volcanic peaks piercing through a high plateau over 1000 meters above sea level. Mount Erciyes stands tall at 3916 meters near Kayseri, adding grandeur to the already breathtaking scenery. While the exact boundaries of historical Cappadocia are somewhat ambiguous towards the west, it is bordered by the Taurus Mountains in the south which separate it from Cilicia and offer stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. To its southwest lies Lycaonia while Galatia stretches northwestward. Salvator Barki's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates both the natural splendor and cultural significance of this remarkable region. This print serves as an invitation to explore all that Cappadocia has to offer - from its ancient history rooted in Herodotus' time to its awe-inspiring landscapes that continue to captivate visitors today.
