Its story
The rock-carved İbrahim İnleri Church lies near Selimiye (Sarıçayır) in İscehisar. Dating to the 10th or 11th century, the church's interior is thought to have been divided into three naves by arched partitions. Its walls bear painted reliefs; one of them is believed to depict the Virgin Mary in the Hodegetria type. It is one of the lesser-known examples of the Byzantine-era rock settlements around the Phrygian Valley.
