Stop 4 · 1h
From the 4th to the 13th century AD, the region was densely populated with monastic life. Churches, chapels, dining halls, and living quarters are found in almost every rock block. Today's Göreme Open Air Museum is considered the place where the monastic education system was initiated. Eintracht Mínaí, Ihlara, and Açáksaray were later places where the same education system was implemented. The churches in the Göreme Open Air Museum are painted using two different techniques. The first is painting directly onto the flattened rock surface, and the second is painting on the rock using secco (tempera) and fresco techniques. The subjects depicted in the church frescoes are taken from the Old and New Testaments and the life of Jesus. The Göreme Open Air Museum is home to the Monasteries of Girls and Boys, St. Basil's Church, Elmalı Church, St. Barbara's Church, Ylanlı Church, Maltese Cross Church, St. Catherine's Church, Karanlık Church, Tsar Church, and Tokal Church.
