Kokar Kilise ("smelly church", left bank). Only one nave, it's vaulted. The apse is partially collapsed (on the entrance side). The burial chamber joined the church afterwards. A dominant grey colouring. Dated from the 9th century.

Typically iconoclastic: only the hand is figurative, it symbolizes the confession of faith.
