St. Barbara Chapel is a 9th century cruciform chapel decorated with simple red figures and symbols in contrast to other frescoes in Göreme. It has three apses and remnants of a storeroom, kitchen and dining hall. Frescoes painted after the 11th century use pale colors and indistinct figures, possibly by amateur artists. The chapel features symbolic figures like a locust versus crosses, a rooster versus bricks, and strange creatures interpreted as representing good versus evil. Figurative frescoes include Christ and various saints.

This cruciform chapel with three apses is
mostly decorated with simple figures and
symbols in red paint on white plaster, making
a sharp contrast with the colorful figures of
most Göreme frescoes. They may have been
painted shortly after the 8th-century
iconoclastic controversy.

dated to the second hald of the 9th century.
Storeroom, kitchen and dining hall of the
church still remain nowadays.Freskos are
painted after 11th century. Pallor colors and
undistinctfigures at the freskos are a sign of
an amateur study
A giant locust symbolizing evil on one wall
opposes two crosses on the other, while a

creatures and shapes are more difficult to
interpret. The figurative frescoes includeChrist
