Goreme Open Air Museum

A complex of Byzantine monasteries and churches carved into the rock between the 10th and 12th centuries, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Within a relatively small area, several churches with well-preserved frescoes are nestled, among which Karanlık Kilise (the Dark Church) stands out in particular. It represents one of the most important historical sites of Cappadocia.
