About

Rock-cut church inside the Göreme Open Air Museum, dated to the late 11th and early 12th century. It has a cross plan with a dome, four columns and three apses. Few windows let in little light, which kept the colours of the frescoes intact. Scenes include the Deesis, the Annunciation, the Nativity and the Adoration of the Magi.
