The Beautiful Cave Churches of Cappadocia
Colourful balloons, fairytale chimneys, beautiful steeds, cave hotels and yet the land of Cappadocia offers even more surprises, with its fascinating churches.There are as many as 600 churches made out of the soft rock that dot the Cappadocia landscape, but there may well be many more yet to be unearthed.
The churches flourished following the gathering of more communities under the guide of Saint Basil of Caesarea – one of the three renowned Cappadocian Fathers who advanced early Christian theology. The 4th century sanctuaries included many examples of Byzantine art, but later churches offer richer frescoes and images of the day.
“Urgup, Cappadocia, Turkey... Stone pillars, which bear the intriguing name of "Three Beauties", are located in Urgup and are a symbol not only of Cappadocia but perhaps of all Turkey. Legend has it that the Greek goddesses Hera, Aphrodite and Athena were forever frozen in these stones.”
