Goreme Open Air Museum, consisting of many rock-cut monasteries, refectories, churches and monks' cells, in Goreme, in Nevsehir province, Cappadocia, Central Anatolia, Turkey. The churches in Goreme are carved from the soft volcanic tuff created by ash from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Early christians came here to flee persecution by the Romans and others settled here under the influence of early saints. This area forms part of the Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
