rock chapel

A rock chapel is a type of religious structure located inside a cave or directly carved into the rock. These chapels are often associated with Christian religious practices and can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in regions where the rock is easily excavated, such as some mountainous or desert areas.

Rock chapels can vary greatly in size and complexity. Some are very simple, with few decorative elements, while others can be more elaborate, featuring frescoes, sculptures, or other forms of religious art. Many of these rock chapels have been used as places of prayer, meditation, or refuge for the faithful.
