Göreme, Turkey. Stone City of Early Christianity
Description
In a spectacular landscape entirely sculpted by erosion, the Göreme valley and its surroundings contain rock-hewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of Byzantine art in the post-Iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns—the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century—can also be seen there.
