Saint Barbara Church |
 |
|
Situated right behind the Elmal Kilise, the church dating to the first half of the 11th century, is a cross-in-square building with two columns and crosswise barrel vaults. The walls are decorated with red-painted ornaments and symbolical figures. There are panels of Christ in the main apse, and St. George and St. Theodore Killing the Snake painted on the wall opposite the entrance. Right next to it, is a fresco depicting the Virgin Mary embracing Christ. The church takes its name from the description of St. Barbara. |
