Göreme open-air museum - St. Barbara Chapel (Azize Barbara Kilisesi)

This is probably the most attractive church in the Goreme Open Air Museum. Situated in back of the Elmali church, this cruciform chapel with three apses is mostly decorated with simple figures and symbols in red paint on white plaster, making a sharp contrast with the colorful figures of most Göreme frescoes. They may have been painted shortly after the 8th-century iconoclastic controversy.
