The **Yılanlı Church** (Snake Church) in Cappadocia is one of the important and intriguing churches located in the Göreme Open Air Museum. The church takes its name from a fresco inside, which depicts a scene where Saint Theodora saves sinful women being punished by snakes. This fresco inside the church leaves a deep impression on visitors and provides significant clues about the region’s history and religious beliefs.
**Frescoes of Yılanlı Church**
The frescoes in Yılanlı Church depict important figures and events from the history of Christianity, including:
- **Saint Onuphrius**: Known for his prayers and piety, he is depicted naked, covering only his waist with a leaf.
- **Saint George and Saint Theodore**: The two saints, seen killing a dragon while on horseback, are also among the prominent figures on the church walls.
- Figures like **Saint Basil and Saint Thomas** can also be seen depicted in the frescoes.
The frescoes of Yılanlı Church date back to the 11th century. The fine craftsmanship in the frescoes reflects the religious beliefs and artistic understanding of that period. Structurally, the church is similar to other Cappadocian churches, carved into the rocks. While its exterior is plain and simple, the interior is enriched with religious symbols through detailed frescoes.
**The Importance of Yılanlı Church**
Yılanlı Church sheds light on the development of Christian iconography in the region. Given that Cappadocia holds significant importance in Christian history, structures like Yılanlı Church are also of great interest to religious tourism. This church serves as an important example for understanding the lives, virtues, and struggles of Christian saints.
Visitors to this part of the Göreme Open Air Museum can explore Yılanlı Church, examine the details in the frescoes, and feel the mystical atmosphere of the region up close.

Derinkuyu underground City
It is located in Derinkuyu district on the Nevsehir-Nigde highway and 30 km. away from Nevsehir. As in the Kaymaklı underground city, there are places to accommodate a large community and meet their needs.
The eight-story Derinkuyu Underground City, built thanks to the geological formation of the Cappadocia region, consists of spaces that can accommodate a large community and meet their needs. Unlike Kaymaklı Underground City, another example in the region, Derinkuyu also has a missionary school, a confessional, a baptismal pool and an interesting well.
The first inhabitants of Derinkuyu date back to the Assyrian colonies. In the second century, the first Christians fleeing persecution by the Roman Empire came to Cappadocia via Antakya and Kayseri and settled here. The first Christians who founded the underground cities in the region were able to escape the persecution of Roman soldiers by hiding in these cities, the entrances of which were not easily recognizable. Since they would have to live in the underground cities for a long time without coming out, they expanded their space by building food stores, ventilation shafts, wineries, churches, monasteries, water wells, toilets and meeting rooms. In these cities consisting of interconnected rooms, some rooms are connected to each other by tunnels so narrow that only one person can pass through. At the entrances and exits of the tunnels, there are large stone cylinders used to close the tunnel for security reasons.

Discover the beauty of the Karanlık Church (lit. Dark Church) in Cappadocia. The lack of natural light has kept the frescoes vibrant and detailed for centuries. A magical place filled with history and art. 🌌⛪ 🎥
