Cappadocia, the giant rock-cut monastery of the Byzantine Empire, Selime Monastery🇹🇷✨

📍Cappadocia, Selime Monastery

Selime Monastery is a monastery carved out of a rock mountain and was built during the Byzantine Empire! Traces of the monks living there in the 8th century remain here and there, allowing you to roughly estimate how old its history and culture are.

Because it was built on a rock mountain, there are holes created by weathering here and there, and you can look down on the beautiful scenery of Cappadocia through it! You get to take some great life shots here as a bonus🥹👍
