1200 year old fresco

One of the wellpreserved fresco inside one of the many churches in Cappadocia.

 

This one is locked away, but you can get access by paying a few lira to the gatekeeper.

 

According to islam, it is forbidden to portray religious figures, and so must of the faces have been violently erased.

 

This fresco is actually painted on the inside of a dome.
