GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM : Goreme was an important Christian centre in
the early years of the Middle Ages, was a bishopric administered by
Mokissos near Aksaray in the 11th and 13th centuries. Despite the vast
numer of monasteries, churches and chapels in the vicinity of Göreme,
there are not many inscriptions bearing dates. For this reason, these
religious buildings are mainly dated according to the iconography or
architectural features.

of Cappadocia. It is named after the enormous piece of rock in the
