You’ll recognize it by the distinct cross carved into its ceiling — the feature that gives the church its name. Dating back to the 9th or 10th century, it was carved directly into the soft tuff rock and used as a place of worship and retreat. Its simple interior, combined with the natural light filtering through small openings, creates a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere amidst the valley’s striking red rocks.

4. The Church of Three Crosses, located near the end of the Red Valley hike. It takes its name from the three beautifully carved crosses on the ceiling — a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The church dates back to the 9th–10th centuries and was carved entirely out of soft volcanic rock. Though its decoration is simple, the geometric reliefs and crosses reflect the spiritual devotion of early Christian monks who once lived here. It’s a peaceful and inspiring stop to end the hike, surrounded by the silence and natural beauty of the valley.

About Göreme

Göreme ligger i hjertet af Kappadokien, et surrealistisk landskab af fe-skorstene, grottekirker og daggryhimler fyldt med luftballoner.

Göremes huse og hoteller er hugget ind i blød vulkansk sten, og byen er omringet af dale med kegleformede fe-skorstene formet af erosion. Göreme Friluftsmuseum samler klippehuggede klostre og kirker, hvis fresker, malet af byzantinske munke, stadig gløder af farve, især i Den Mørke Kirke.

Top-ranked sights in Göreme: Pigeon Valley (Güvercinlik Vadisi), Devrent Valley (Devrent Vadisi), Monks Valley (Pasabag Vadisi).
