Colorado In The United States
Mesa Verde is not exactly an underground city, but it certainly classifies as a prominent (and beautiful) underground dwelling. This archeological region is found in the Southwest of the United States and was originally built by the Puebloans, a prominent Native American group found in the area. They called it their home for over 700 years from the year 550 to 1300. The houses were constructed similarly to cave dwellings. While not exactly a large, comfortable space to live in, the design structure did allow puebloans to lead more private lives as a result.

The Australian Outback
Down in the southern hemisphere of Australia, Coober Pedy is best referred to as a city that was built upside down. Four out of every five inhabitants live underground in this area, which was initially just a 1900’s mine, but has since expanded into a fully fledged community. Curiously, average modern people like you and me can be found living normal lives in the area today, aside from the very bizarre fact that they likely live in an underground house, instead of one that we may be more accustomed to. It’s worth a visit if you’re planning a trip to the Australian Outback, and the locals are known for their welcoming and warm nature.
