Kaymakli Manastiri was an Armenian monastery. It is on the terrain of a farm house at the fringe of the city. The roof being gone it is open to the elements, a pity because there are some good frescoes inside, and the stonework is fine. The monastery was in use until WW I. Two chapels remain, one – dating from 1424 – houses the frescoes, the other is used to store hay.

I found the frescoes very difficult to "read", and was informed this is a typical part of a repressentation of the Last Judgement, the Hetoimasia, the empty chair that indicates the coming Christ.

This is a new edit of a 1993 slide, after I made fresh scans in 2018.
