NEVSEHIR RUINS  
Monastery of Priestesses and Priests

The rock mass consisting of 6 - 7 floors located at the left of the museum entrance is known as "Monastery of Priestesses". This monastery's dining hall, kitchen, a few rooms on the first floor; destroyed chapel on the second floor can be visited. Its church on the 3rd floor (that is reached through a tunnel) has a cross dome, four columns and three absissa. The templon in the main apsis is not met in other churches in Göreme. There are red ornaments beside the Christ fresco made directly on rock. "bolt stones" are used for closing the tunnels in case of a danger as in the case for the underground cities. In the Monestary of Priests on the right, the passages between the floors are closed because of erosion, therefore only a few rooms in the entrance floor can be seen.
