A região da Capadócia está atraindo turistas de todo o mundo. Os voos de balão de ar quente podem ser a maior atração para esses turistas atualmente. No entanto, as igrejas caverna da Capadócia e o vasto patrimônio cristão foram as principais atrações para os primeiros turistas da nossa região.

A partir do primeiro século d.C., os cristãos começaram a se deslocar lentamente do Oriente Médio para a Anatólia. A perseguição romana era a maior ameaça para esses infelizes crentes. Acredita-se até que a palavra "cristão" tenha sido criada na cidade de Antioquia, na antiga Anatólia. Os primeiros seguidores de Jesus se apresentavam como seguidores de Cristo, mas as comunidades da Anatólia os chamavam de cristãos. De Antioquia para a Capadócia, os cristãos chegaram à região e construíram mosteiros escondidos nas rochas vulcânicas macias. Dez séculos após sua chegada, a região começou a abrigar milhares de cristãos vivendo em comunidade em grandes assentamentos monásticos. O Museu ao Ar Livre de Goreme é o maior deles.

As igrejas da Capadócia estão classificadas sob a Igreja Ortodoxa Oriental. O fundador desta igreja é São Basílio, o Grande, também conhecido como Basílio de Cesareia. Ele nasceu e foi criado na região da Capadócia e viajou extensivamente pelas terras romanas no quarto século. Após retornar à sua terra natal, ele começou a encorajar os primeiros cristãos da região a formarem assentamentos maiores que funcionariam como comunidades para pessoas desafortunadas. Esses assentamentos continham quartos, dormitórios, cozinhas, adegas, armazéns, igrejas, simplesmente tudo o que as pessoas precisavam naquela época. Os cristãos esculpiram milhares de igrejas caverna na região da Capadócia dentro desses assentamentos monásticos do quarto ao décimo século.

As igrejas da Capadócia sofreram muito durante o Período Iconoclasta, de 725 a 842. Não era permitido decorar suas igrejas com os afrescos vistos hoje. As igrejas eram decoradas com cruzes simples para enfatizar sua presença sagrada. Após o fim da Era Iconoclasta, as igrejas da Capadócia floresceram com afrescos. Hoje, todos os viajantes devem visitar o Museu ao Ar Livre de Goreme para ver as igrejas caverna mais bem preservadas da região da Capadócia. As igrejas do Museu ao Ar Livre de Goreme abrigam os melhores exemplos de afrescos do final do período bizantino. Elas são decoradas com pinturas feitas à mão fenomenais. Tintas vegetais foram usadas para retratar a vida de Jesus Cristo, santos importantes do cristianismo e cenas do Antigo Testamento. Além da arte religiosa nas igrejas caverna, pode-se ver esqueletos de um sítio de escavação próximo para entender como as pessoas eram enterradas nas rochas vulcânicas.

**Igrejas com seccos**

Todas as igrejas no Museu ao Ar Livre de Goreme estão muito bem preservadas, pois os cristãos da Capadócia as usaram até 1923. Após a troca de população realizada entre os gregos e a República da Turquia, as igrejas foram abandonadas até a década de 1960, quando foram convertidas em museu. Desde 1985, a Capadócia e as Igrejas Caverna estão listadas na UNESCO e protegidas pelo Ministério do Turismo e Cultura da República da Turquia.
