Selime Monastery

Selime Monastery, a unique structure carved directly into the rocks of Cappadocia, was meticulously crafted by skilled artisans over two centuries in the 8th or 9th century. This cultural landmark features an enormous cathedral-sized church with stone columns, alongside living areas, a missionary school, stables, a water well, and a large kitchen with a towering chimney. Visitors can explore the intricate layout and marvel at the ingenuity of its design, set against the backdrop of Cappadocia’s distinctive geological formations.
