Description: See the Wikipedia (English) article to know more. The monastery is carved out of a large rock and is one of the best preserved and largest of its kind in the Cappadocia region. There are quite a few monasteries hewn out of the rock in Cappadocia and some scholars split these into two types: those with dining halls and those with open courtyards. The Gümüşler Monastery is part of the second group. The most important part of the monastery complex is the church to its north. The name should inform somewhat about the subject.
