A world of faith carved into stone...
The Göreme Open-Air Museum, located in the town of Göreme in Nevşehir, is one of the most iconic sites in Cappadocia.
With its rock-cut churches, chapels, refectories, and monastic dwellings, this Byzantine-era complex represents one of the earliest monastic settlements in the Christian world.
Its well-preserved frescoes, still rich in color, make it a stone-etched encyclopedia of faith and art.

The settlement in Göreme dates back to the 4th century AD.
During the early Christian period, the region served both as a monastic retreat and a center of religious education.
Structures such as the Elmalı Church, Tokalı Church, Yılanlı Church, Çarıklı Church, and Saint Barbara Chapel feature some of the finest examples of Byzantine fresco art.
Added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985, Göreme offers a fascinating blend of religious devotion and architectural heritage.

Viofun’s Recommendation
Take your time at the Tokalı Church — the fresco scenes are not only artistically remarkable but also rich in theological symbolism.
After visiting, enjoy a walk through the Göreme Valley, where the mystical atmosphere and natural landscape come together perfectly.
