WALKING TRAVEL VIDEO: WALK IN UNDERGROUND CITY OF KURD_E OLYA, 2000 years old 🇮🇷

In the heart of Iran’s central Isfahan Province lies the ancient village of Kord-e Olya, home to an incredible subterranean wonder - an entire city carved inside rock. Known as the ‘Underground City of Kord-e Olya’, this unique hidden gem was built by excavating soft volcanic rock. Dating back over 2,000 years, this network of tunnels, rooms, stairs, and water channels offers a glimpse into ancient Persian ingenuity and engineering.
The origins of Kord-e Olya’s underground city trace back to pre-Islamic times in Persia. Some records indicate initial construction during the reign of Ardashir I, founder of the Sassanian Empire in the 3rd century CE. However, most of the structures were built later in the 6th century CE.
Over its long history, the underground city served various purposes - from providing shelter from desert heat to refuge during foreign invasions. The soft volcanic rock made it easy for laborers to carve out tunnels, stairs, rooms, and halls across multiple levels. At its peak, the underground city could house over 12,000 people.
