Hallacdere manasteri

These are pictures I took at a complex of some adjacent churches which I earlier overlooked.

I found a site which made me identify it as the Hallacdere monastic complex (also known as Hospital Monastery). The site indicates it to be "one of the best examples of the courtyard monasteries. It has vestibule, a kitchen, a large tomb chamber, five rooms of different sizes and a church with an inscribed-cross plan with four columns. The animal-head decoration on column capitals and the sculpture of a human figure on the wall are unique in Cappadocia. The ground level inside the complex is more than one meter below that of the courtyard level because of the silting."

Captions will appear tomorrow.
