DAY 2 |
GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM |
Goreme was known, in the ancient times, as Korama.
The first references to it are in the early 7th
c Acts of St Hieron, a 3rd C. saint who was a native
of Matianoi, or the modern Maccan. Goreme is an
amphitheatre of ample portions surrounded by steep
cliffs leading to a pleasant, verdant valley, which
puzzles every single visitor, by the interesting
access to many of the caves. The place we refer
as the Goreme Open Air Museum is located in a small
part of the whole valley, and right next door to
the modern village of Goreme. It must have been
such a convenient place to dwell that Goreme acted
as one of the most important monastic settlements
in the early Christian ages.

!!! The art is living on the walls of the Dark Church.
