Yeşilhisar / Kayseri · Valleys

Soğanlı Archaeological Site

This valley in Yeşilhisar, Kayseri, has rock-cut churches, frescoes and dovecotes. The pin follows the official museum's directions point; check entry and opening days with that source. The church frescoes are stylistically dated to the tenth–twelfth centuries. Domed rock-cut churches distinguish the valley's architecture; cloth dolls made by village women represent its local craft tradition.
