Dedicated to Kayseri-born St Basil, this is the first church you come to inside the Göreme Open-Air Museum. The main room holds frescoes of St Basil (left wall) and St George and St Theodore slaying a faded dragon (right wall). The other main fresco, to the right of the apse depicts Mary holding baby Jesus, with a cross in his halo.
