Fresco, detail of crowds of onlookers, in Yilanli Kilise or St George's Church, known as Snake Church, originally part of a monastery, at the Goreme Open Air Museum in Goreme, in Nevsehir province, Cappadocia, Central Anatolia, Turkey. The church has a simple low barrel-vaulted nave and many frescoes, including St Theodore and St George slaying the dragon, which is depicted as a snake. The churches in Goreme are carved from the soft volcanic tuff created by ash from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Early christians came here to flee persecution by the Romans and others settled here under the influence of early saints. This area forms part of the Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
