There are 100's of tiny churches in the rock caves, most for the 11th century. There were fresco's everywhere. Most of them are still very preserved and clear. Some of the faces were damaged in one of the religious upheavals, sorry I can't remember when it happened. It was a very humbling experience to be in something so old, with so much history.

Some of the faces were damaged in one of the religious upheavals, sorry I can't remember when it happened. It was a very humbling experience to be in something so old, with so much history.
