Göreme Open-Air Museum - Sandal Church (Çarikli Kilise)
The smallest of the columned churches in Goreme Open Air Museum, it is situated at the northwest part of the museum. The church is built on two floors. The entrance is from the north, the church is one of the rooms that surrounds the courtyard of the monastry. The narthex part of the church is collapsed. The plan is in square form with two free supported columns, Greek cross shaped and 3 apses. Even though it is named after the two deep foot prints on the ground which is under the figure of the ascention of Jesus, it is also thought that the chuch was built for the name of the holy cross because of some of iconographic figures and the cross themed gaffitis.
