![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 576 W: 4 N: 317]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-n-g.gif) (2717) | Yüksek Kilise (High Church) in Güzelyurt, Aksaray, Central Anatolia.
The only written information I could find on the net is from the official site of Aksaray town:
It is situated at a distance of 3 kms. to the town, being 1 km. West from the center. It is built on a natural, rocky hill; both a church and a place for the monks may be seen.
People say it is known as a nuns' monastery.
I have taken this shot from the road leading to Güzelyurt. In the background, the mighty Mount Hasan is seen. It is a dead volcano, most probably the one pictured in the wall paintings found at Çatal Höyük near Konya.
