The El Nazar Church is one of Cappadocia’s most iconic and surreal experiences. Carved into an isolated fairy chimney, this late-900s Byzantine cave church houses some truly unique features, such as a niche seating area and a fresco of the ascension of Jesus in the dome. Inside, enjoy beautiful paintings of saints on dark blue backgrounds, symbolic architecture which exalts Jesus, and stories of his birth, death and resurrection. El Nazar will be sure to leave you with an awe inspiring experience!
