Saint Basil's Chapel

St. Basil’s Chapel is a haphazard, yet intriguing, church inside the Open Air Museum. This small church, located just after the so-called nunnery, is the first church you visit in the Open Air Museum.

St. Basil’s Chapel is a compact, single-nave church with limited paintings. These features place it within the “Yılanlı Group” of churches (St. Barbara, St. Catherina, Yılanlı, etc.), which date to the mid 11th century.
