Gülşehir-St.Jean Kilisesivisitor guide.

Located 20 km from Nevşehir on the southern bank of the Kızılırmak, Gülşehir's ancient name was Zoropassos and former name Arapsun. The development Grand Vizier Damat İbrahim Pasha brought to Nevşehir was also carried out for Gülşehir by Grand Vizier Karavezir Mehmet Seyyid Pasha, who endowed the 30-household Gülşehir with a külliye. The külliye consists of a mosque, madrasa, and fountain. Açıksaray Archaeological Site Located on the Nevşehir–Gülşehir road, 3 km from Gülşehir, Açıksaray was an important bishopric center with countless spaces carved into tuff rocks, Roman rock tombs, and rock churches dating to the 9th and 10th centuries. The space locally named Hacı Bektaş Veli Masjid attracts attention as an Islamic structure whose mihrab survives to this day. High niches stand in the west of the nearly square masjid. The mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys at this site are completely unique.
