Never imagined to live in a city that is located in the basement? Perhaps only in the movies fantasy only. But wait, in this world there are really underground cities and equally beautiful.
Cities under the ground are :
The City of Caves - Britain.
Broadmarsh Shopping Center in Nottingham, England. Perhaps at first glance is like a normal shopping center. But who would have thought that in the Mall there is an entrance that leads us to an underground city, City Of Caves.
This underground city was used as a place to stay start of the 11th century until 1984. Until now, archaeologists are still digging to find new caves. You can enter it through a complete tour with a guide.
Seattle Underground - USA.

We can get into the underground city of Seattle this through a tour provided, we can see the remains of the building as a place to stay and shopping is still quite intact and maintained.
Cappadocia - Turkey.
A city founded in the 8th century it looked beautiful, like a work of art that is inscribed on a barren mountainside. Many people who enjoy the beauty of Cappadocia by using a hot air balloon, but on the inside is equally beautiful. Yes, the bottom land.
Derinkuyu, a cave in Cappadicia 60 meters which can accommodate 20,000 residents along with their daily needs. Nearly half of Derinkuyu open to tourists. You also can go to the next cave that is Kaymaklli, by passing through tunnels along the 8 Km.
