Last day in Cappadocia


We headed 2km up from the village to The Goreme Open Air Museum which is one of Turkey's World Heritage Sites. It's a cluster of rock carved Byzantine churches, chapels, and monestaries.

The Christians began clustering in Cappadocia at the end of the 2nd century.

Christianity grew in the 3rd and 4th centuries.

They left their mark in these amazing rock churches. Posted by Picasa
