Selime was home to Hittite, Assyrian, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Danişment, Seljuk and Ottoman civilizations. One of the most important aspects of Selime fortress-monastery was that many leading clergymen were educated there. The military headquarters of the region was also located there.

The depictions include Ascension, Annunciation and Mother Mary. #cuture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6141107/14c987fc-bc18-49f5-94ea-014a1d77c9f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![One of the most unexpected surprises in Cappadocia is the wonderful rock-cut monastery in Selime, at the end of Ihlara valley, 28 km from Aksarai.
