These cities were constructed by the Christians who were escaping Roman persecution. The Christians were safe after the baptism of Emperor Constantine. Within the city were living spaces, stores and kitchen. The rooms were secured with large solid rock wheels-like doors. The passage ways were narrow allowing the inhabitants to fight the Roman soldiers one at a time.
