Bernd calls this 'the white church' because it is white and unadorned. It's magnificence is in its architectural details. What were the carvers/architects thinking? That the tufa rock is 'play do'? It is true that any error in carving cannot be corrected and there is slight imperfections in this rock-cut church. Again, remember, these are not free standing buildings that they pretend to be. This is another rock-cut church. It has cathedral dimensions in height, width and glory and really very beautiful. I just realised that I didn't take too many pictures because I was still recovering from heatstroke and was not fully well and whatever Bernd was saying about just went over my head. We did see a local guide bringing two visitors in, they took a glance, took a picture of themselves and then off they went.
