Not that one Letty, further south.
Not Poland. Hint, delicacy at Christmas
Big smile. Turkey, but I cannot find the picture. Once again, Dutchy, is the place ancient ruins of cliff dwellers?
Yes Ellinas, but better known to everybody as Turkey. Now, what is shown in the picture, what was it formerly used for?
Ellinas wrote:Is it in Capadocia?

Since Turkey is a bit larger, I think as well, Capadocia is more specific.
Wild guess. Caves used for storing wine in Capadocia, Turkey
Firstly my picture shows this area as.......Turkey. Having looked at other sites since Walter showed me the specific site mentioned by Ellinas, my picture is indeed situated in Cappadocia.
Secondly, 'altar wines' may well have been stored there in the past Letty.
This is also a hint!
Places of worship, Dutchy?
Let's see if this info clarifies it.
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 can best be considered in 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.
Yes, that describes it pretty well, now give me the name of this place of 'worship' and you have arrived.

Dutchy, the only thing that I can find is Karanlik rock cut church.
Letty look for a Monastery.
It would appear so spidergal but what is the name of the structure?
