Yilanli Kilise (Church of the Snaket)

1 review of Yilanli Kilise (Church of the Snaket)

Fascinating frescoes

This church stands out due to its fascinating 11th century frescoes found in part of the vault. On the left wall you can see Saint George and Saint Theodore attacking a dragon. Near them Constantine the Great and his mother Helena hold the Cross. On the right wall is Saint Onofre, a hermit of Egypt, with a date palm hiding that he's naked. The best thing about this church is just these images, but the light and shadows that are created within its walls dark are noteworthy too.
