Agios Basileios, a Greek church from the 19th century in central Turkey. The destructions on the ground were done by two men. One day they came to the village and told the people, that they will prepare the reconstruction of the church. Instead they dug the holes, searching for gold. A few days later they disappeared. It is a widespread misbelief, that some of the original inhabitants were hiding their treasures here, before they had to leave the country in 1923. This misbelief caused a lot of damages to historic buildings. - If you have any information about the church or the village etc., please contact the photographer - thank you!
