Rooms in the underground city
'Fairy chimneys' , you may have seen this landscape in StarWars
Large cave complexes
Many are now cushy cave hotels.

Capadoccia, Turkey
Capadoccia's fairy chimneys were home to persecuted Christians and now house tons of tourists. Nearby, there are several underground cities that used to be inhabited by Christians--some up to 8 stories deep into the sandstone. Teeny tiny rooms are stacked one atop the other and connected through tortuous pathways. I was feeling pretty claustrophobic when I peered up the ventilation shaft and saw how far down we were!
