The Zelve Open Air Museum, on Aktepe's northern slopes, is a historic site featuring three valleys filled with ancient churches, monasteries, and fairy chimneys. A key Christian settlement from the 9th to 13th centuries, its highlights include Balıklı and Üzümlü Churches, the Church of the Holy Cross, and a monastery complex in the third valley. Unique pigeon houses, adorned with primitive art, reflect the region's agricultural ingenuity. Paşabağı (Valley of the Priests) boasts striking multi-headed fairy chimneys, including a chapel dedicated to St. Simeon. Zelve's blend of natural beauty, religious heritage, and architectural innovation offers visitors a captivating glimpse into Cappadocia's past.
