The church is carved into the rock that makes up a high plateau around the city. Carved! A whole church! And you can just stroll in and look around. Amazing! In the first photo (from the outside) you can see a bunch of tiny holes up high on the left. Any guesses about what they are? (They are everywhere and our hot air balloon guide told us about them.)
In the second photo you can see the pulpit (again, carved into the hillside) at the center of the church where the minister would stand. This church is from before people in this area painted frescos in the churches. On our walk this afternoon we literally stumbled upon a cave church with frescos - so cool.
