A rock-hewn church, an ossuary and subsidiary chambers are located at Solomonkala, in an eroded cliff massif near the village of Evbakan. The main chrch, the access to which is through the door on the west, is a square bay topped by a dome and provided with a door leading to the sanctuary in the east and a mortuary in the north. The interior walls of the church are covered with murals. It also preserves an inscription of the atabag (ruler), according to which the murals were painted in 1482. The burial chamber has three tombs, all of which are completely pillaged.
