The Altıkapılı Cave Church at Pisidia
Abstract
The single-naved rock-cut church located near the village of Avdancık in Bucak District of the province of Burdur has dimensions measuring 10.50 x 10.50 m. What makes Altıkapılı special for the Pisidia region are the mural paintings found on its apse that portray scenes of salvation/liberation from the Bible. The surviving mural paintings include icons of Orthodox Christianity such as scenes of the Annunciation to Virgin Mary, the Nativity of Jesus, and the Baptism of Jesus. The painting program and the stylistic features of these murals provide important information that indicates that the structure belongs to the 11th-12th century. The Angel painting on the ground in an open area in the Annunciation scene is a feature that belongs to the 11th century. The linear shadings and the depth created on the dress with helical curves are also seen in the monumental drawings of the 11th century. Thin and long arms and legs, compressed bodies of the figures, and the energetic general structure of their bodies are also features that appear in church mural paintings from this period.
