It is located 200 m north of the cross road from the highway to Kizilin in Bozkir district; Konya province. The main entrance of Cemile Kuyusu is very large and provides access in three separate directions. A narrow and high gallery which follows the wall on the right side from the entrance; reconnects with the main gallery. The main gallery is covered with snow and ice; and has a descending declination. Following a short descent it gets narrower; then continues to the left and finally ends following a 15 m distance with an impassable gallery. The other gallery extends making zigzags and reaches a small room. The basin is filled with goat and sheep bones. The small room opens into a large hall. This gallery is enlightened by sun shine and ends at the entrance of the Cemile 2 cave. The cave consists of a complex system of fossilized waterways. It was initially found by the combined efforts of the BÜMAK Ğ SCVJ associations; it was measured and mapped by the same.
