The Temple of Donators is located in the southern part of the Cherkes-Kermen gorge, not far from the cave city Eski-Kermen . The church is carved into one of the rocks and is famous for its frescoes of the 12th-14th centuries. This is a small temple, its dimensions are approximately 5x3 meters. In the northern part of the temple there are two niches, presumably one of them served as an altar. On the western wall of the church, Jesus and the Mother of God with a cross are depicted. The most famous fresco of the Temple of the Donators tells of the celebration of the liturgy of the Holy Grail, but, unfortunately, it is in very poor condition.
