Its story
The Han Underground City consists of rooms carved in layers beneath the district center and corridors connecting these rooms. The main section has three large rooms; in some rooms sarcophagi and decorations with bow and rosette motifs can be seen. On the lowest level, many water channels carrying water from the surrounding mountains have been identified; where the channels lead is still unknown. The first excavations were carried out in 1992–1993 by the Eskişehir Museum Directorate and Anadolu University. It can be toured together with the Hüsrev Paşa Mosque in the district center.
