Cappadocia

In the valley of Goreme stands an open-air museum which used to house a religious community.Local tradition has it that there were as many as 356 churches,one for each day of the year,of which about thirty are open to the public.

They can be visited but are not plainly visible from the outside.All churches still standing in Goreme were built after 850 A.D. and decorated up to the XI century with frescoes which,despite their Byzantine influence,have extremely simple lines.
