Göreme Open-Air Museum

The Göreme Open-Air Museum, located in central Cappadocia, Türkiye, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its cluster of medieval rock-cut churches and monastic complexes. Dating from the 10th to 12th centuries, these chapels and refectories were carved into the soft volcanic tuff and adorned with vivid Byzantine frescoes. Highlights include the Tokalı (Buckle) Church, Elmalı (Apple) Church, and the Karanlık (Dark) Church, each offering exceptional insight into early Christian art and ascetic life in the region.
