Summary[edit]

Description
العربية: بلدة أورطة حصار في قباذق (كبادوكية). قباذق أو كبادوكية هي إحدى مناطق تُركيَّا الوُسطى، تشتهرُ بِمُنتزه گوريمه الوطني، الذي أُضيف إلى قائمة مواقع التُراث العالمي التابعة لِمُنظمة اليونيسكو سنة 1985. يرجعُ تاريخ أقدم مُستوطنة بشريَّة في هذه المنطقة إلى العصر الروماني وتحديدًا إلى العهد المسيحي المُبكر. تشتهرُ المنطقة أيضًا بِتكويناتها الصخريَّة التي تُشكِّلُ مداخن طبيعيَّة، يعلو بعضها حتَّى 40 مترًا (130 قدمًا). على مدار آلاف السنوات، نحتت الأمطار والرياح الطبقات الصلبة من الرماد البُركاني، المعروف باسم الطَّفَّة، فشكَّلت المناظر الحاليَّة. مُنذُ القرن الرابع إلى القرن الثالث عشر الميلاديين، حفر أهالي المنطقة أنفاقًا تحت الصُخُور ونحتوا ظاهرها في سبيل صنع مساكن لهم، بِالإضافة إلى دكاكين وكنائس، وهذه كُلها تضم اليوم أشكالًا فنيَّةً بيزنطيَّةً لا تُقدَّر بِثمن.
Tiếng Việt: Thị trấn Ortahisar, huyện Ürgüp, tỉnh Nevşehir, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ. Đây là thị trấn nằm trong khu vực Cappadocia, nơi được UNESCO công nhận là Di sản thế giới vào năm 1985.
English: Town of Ortahisar in Cappadocia. Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, is known for its Göreme National Park, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.The first period of settlement within the region reaches to Roman period of Christian era. The area is also famous for its fairy chimneys rock formations, some of which reach 40 meters (130 feet) in height. Over thousands of years, wind and rain eroded layers of consolidated volcanic ash, or tuff, to form the sweeping landscape. From the 4th to 13th century AD, occupants of the area dug tunnels into the exposed rock face to build residences, stores, and churches which are home to irreplaceable Byzantine art.
Français : La petite ville d'Ortahisar, en Cappadoce (Turquie). La Cappadoce est une région de Turquie centrale connue pour ses paysages couverts de cheminées de fée et pour son habitat troglodytique. Ses paysages proviennent de l'érosion par le vent et la pluie de tuff volcanique partiellement (et surtout irrégulièrement) consolidé. L'habitat troglodytique s'est surtout développé du IVe au XIIIe siècle, où il a été utilisé pour des habitations, des entrepôts, mais surtout des églises abritant des chefs-d'œuvre irremplaçables de l'art byzantin. Une partie de la région est intégrée dans le Parc national de Göreme, qui est classé depuis 1985 au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
Suomi: Ortahisarin kaupunki Kappadokiassa, Keski-Turkissa. Alue on kuuluisa pehmeästä vulkaanisesta kivestä koostuvista kukkuloistaan, joihin on asutettaessa kaivettu tunneliverkostoja ja kaupunkeja.
