The Eski Monastery is an ancient cave monastery, about 10 kilometers east of the city of Nidai, which was discovered in 1963. Because the early Christians were pagans in Turkey, they had to hide here in order to avoid persecution. In the towering main church, there are gorgeous Byzantine frescoes made in the 7th to 11th centuries AD. In the picture of the Virgin and Child in the apse, Mary is tall and has a Mona Lisa-like smile. It is said to be the only surviving image of the smiling Virgin.

It is said that this is the only image of the Madonna that is smiling.
There are several rock caverns and grotto monasteries that have been found in Kabadhosia, Turkey. Eski monastery is one of the ancient grotto monasteries that early Christians built to escape persecution in the wilderness.
The hiking route is from the foot of the mountain to the cathedral near the top, and you can visit a huge kitchen and several stables along the way. Recommended to see.
Very worth a visit, the building is gorgeous, the interior is solemn, the outside is extremely hot, but the hall is unusually cool.
It is another stone house, the tour guide introduced it to be an ancient town, and it has been aesthetic fatigue in a row.
