Rock Church ceiling
Despite the ravages of age, the frescoes on the ceiling of the Rock Church at Sumela Monastery, Turkey, are still beautiful. The Rock Church is built into a rocky cave at the ancient monastery and the frescoes, with their biblical motifs, date back to the 18th C. Since layers of frescoes are from three different time periods, older frescoes underlay the ones that are currently visible, making restoration very difficult.
