Dark Church, Cappadocia Overview
The Dark Church or Karanlik Kilise is the most beautiful cave church in Cappadocia and is famous for its bright and gorgeous paintings on every wall. Located inside a monastery, the church dates back to the mid-11th-century and depicts centuries-old colourful and detailed frescoes. It is located inside the Goreme Open Air Museum and is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List because of its mediaeval monastic heritage.
The Dark Church, along with Apple Church and Sandal Church, which are present inside the monastic complex, are known as the three “Column Churches'' because of similarities in their architecture. The original monastery is a must-visit for those who want to take a peek into Turkey's history through the lens of architecture. The cross-in-square church has a half-carved arch above the doorway and four columns, five domes, and three apses. The artwork inside Dark Church is more impressive than many other Cappadocian churches.
