Chrome Valley (Krom Vadisi) Chrome Valley, located in a strategic position since ancient times and home to important settlements such as İmera and Horsetail, continues to attract attention today. Its rich mineral resources drew thousands of people to the area centuries ago. The region boasts 15 registered churches and chapels, as well as an arch bridge and a castle. The Greek stone houses still maintain their originality. While little is known about the region's history, research has revealed that the people in Chrome Valley were originally Christian and eventually forgot their original language after converting to Christianity. During a population exchange in the 1920s, the Christian community was relocated from the area, but they kept Christianity alive until then. Until the 1700s, the way of life for the people in Chrome Valley was not disrupted. However, Islam was offered as a privilege to Christians in the area, and many were converted to Islam at that time. In 1856, the emperor granted freedom of religion to all people, and the Christians set about repairing their ruined churches and building new ones. The region's high altitude and clean air make it a popular summer retreat for nomads from neighboring provinces. The people of the region have taken great care to preserve the historical monuments and keep them in good condition. One of the few churches with an intact roof can be found here. With its pristine natural surroundings and centuries-old heritage, this region deserves protection and special attention.
