Al Oda Kilisesi

The section called Al Oda is a rock church, but there is also a monastery complex here. The section that would be the monastery and the church section are separated into two by a deep cliff. The church was made as a result of shaping a large cave. Inside the space, there are niches carved into the walls and a khamasorion-type sarcophagus. This sarcophagus must belong to an important clergyman. The most striking aspect of Al Oda Kilisesi is the paintings and mosaics inside it.
