Pancarlik Kilise or Pancarlik Church, early 11th century, in the Pancarlik Valley, Nevsehir province, Cappadocia, Central Anatolia, Turkey. The churches 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
