Panoramic view of Goreme in winter
Panoramic view of Goreme in winter.The ancient region of Cappadocia lies in central Anatolia, between the cities of Nevsehir, Kayseri and Nigde. Here, the traveller finds one of the most fantastic landscapes in the world. Three million years ago, violent eruptions of the volcanoes Mt. Erciyes (3891m) and Mt. Hasan (3250m) covered the surrounding plateau with tuff. Wind and weather have eroded the soft volcanic rock into hundreds of strangely shaped pillars, cones and " fairy chimneys", often very tall, and in every shade from pink through yellow to russet browns. Since the most ancient of times, men have hollowed out troglodyte dwellings in this soft rock, and here, at the dawn of Christianity, the early Christians made countless cave churches, chapels and monasteries. There are over 600 churches scattered through the valleys. The art style of the churches falles into two categories: the 8th and 9th centuries are the iconoclastic years, with decorations in red earth tones and symbolism in simple geometric motifs; the 10th to the 13th centuries saw decorations on a plaster base and show the lives of Christ and various saints. Interestingly, in some of the churches the frescoes of the later period have fallen off, revealing earlier decorations underneath. The architectural plan of the churches is uncomplicated. Also in this region are a number of underground cities which were used by Christians as places to retreat to and live in until danger from their enemies had passed. These cities were well-hidden and safe. There were rooms for grain storage, stables, sleeping chambers, kitchens and air shafts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic view of Goreme in winter showcases the breathtaking beauty of the ancient region of Cappadocia. Nestled between Nevsehir, Kayseri, and Nigde, this extraordinary landscape was formed three million years ago when violent volcanic eruptions covered the plateau with tuff. Over time, wind and weather sculpted the soft volcanic rock into a myriad of peculiar shapes including towering pillars, cones, and enchanting "fairy chimneys" that span a spectrum of colors from pink to russet browns. Throughout history, humans have carved troglodyte dwellings into this malleable rock. In the early days of Christianity, cave churches emerged as symbols of faith in Cappadocia's rocky terrain. Today, over 600 churches can be found scattered across its valleys. The art within these churches reflects different periods: from simple geometric motifs in earth tones during iconoclastic years to plaster-based decorations depicting the lives of Christ and various saints from the 10th to 13th centuries. Interestingly, some frescoes have peeled off over time revealing even earlier artwork beneath them. This region is also home to hidden underground cities where Christians sought refuge during times of danger. These well-protected cities boasted storage rooms for grain, stables for animals, sleeping chambers for inhabitants' safety and comfort. Captured by Getty Images for Fine Art Storehouse's print collection; this image transports viewers into an otherworldly realm where nature's artistic prowess meets human ingenuity in creating awe-inspiring architecture amidst a stunning winter backdrop.
