- Pancarlık Church ADD TO MY ROUTE
It is in the Pancarlık Valley on the right of the Ürgüp - Mustafapaşa road, south of Ortahisar Town. It has a flat ceiling, a single nave and a single apse. The frescoes in the church are mostly green and well preserved. At first glance, it is thought that two different artists painted the church at different times, but when the scenes and all the writings are examined separately, it is understood that it was decorated by the same artist. The church, which contains frescoes with scenes from the Bible, is dated to the first half of the 11th century.
Scenes: “Appearance of the Prophet”, “The Gospel”, “Visitation”, “Proof of Virginity”, “Following Elizabeth”, “Order of John the Baptist”, “Wine Miracle”, “Healing of the Evil Man”, “Jesus and the Woman from Samarra", "Transfiguration", "Massacre of Innocent Children", "Joseph's Second Dream", "Escape to Egypt", "Healing of the Man Who was Spoiled by the Devil", "Ascension of Jesus", "Jesus on the Way to Calvary”, “The Prophet Jesus on the Cross”, “Christ's Descent into Hell" and depictions of saints.
