Three people were killed and five injured when rock fragments broke off a fairy chimney and struck people near the Goreme Open-Air Museum in Cappadocia at about 3:15 p.m. Thursday.
Heavy rainfall triggered the collapse from the volcanic rock formation, Nevsehir Governor Huseyin Kok said, and rescue teams were still searching the rubble for any additional victims.
Two of the dead were Turkish nationals, while officials had not identified the third victim or said whether those killed and injured were tourists, workers or others.
Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is one of Turkey’s best-known tourist regions, drawing visitors for its fairy chimneys, cave dwellings, rock-cut churches and hot-air-balloon views.
