ARCHANGEL-MICHAEL CHURCH IN RODOŽDA

Nestled in a cliff, this Orthodox cave church (Црква Свети Архангел Михаил/Crkva Sveti Arhangel Mihail) houses a fine set of ^14th-century frescoes. The grotto also features a ^13th-century fresco in poor condition depicting the miracle of Chône: the archangel Michael - here painted on horseback holding a spear - diverting the water that threatened to flood the Christian village of Chône, in Phrygia (modern-day Turkey), after pagans destroyed a dam upstream.
