Description
Among the spaces carved into the rocks were a large number of churches. The precision with which they carved columns, domes, and arches from the solid tuff stone is remarkable. They also painted frescoes like the one here in the dome. These were especially common during the period of Byzantine Iconoclasm when such representative painting needed to be concealed.
