Held under the auspices of Türkiye’s First Lady Emine Erdogan, the program featured a photography exhibition titled ‘Rock, Shelter, Faith, Life’ by Spanish photographer Pio Cabanillas. The exhibition was opened at the Museo del Traje and showcased visual works captured in Cappadocia and its surrounding regions, one of the most visited destinations in Türkiye by Spanish tourists
The photographs highlighted the unique landscapes and cultural heritage of several Anatolian regions, including Cappadocia, Mardin, Sanliurfa and Nevsehir.
The exhibition aimed to present Türkiye’s historical depth and cultural diversity through striking visual storytelling.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Pio Cabanillas emphasized that Türkiye cannot be fully explored in a single visit, noting that each journey offers new discoveries and cultural richness.
