The Altindere National Park is the best known
park in the Black Sea region, and lies to the west of Trabzon in Turkey. The
Sumela (Sümela) Monastery is one of the main sites of the Altindere National
Park. Also known as Meryemana, because it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and
was the centre of Christianity in the region. The Sumela Monastery is a Greek
Orthodox monastery. It also has a very significant place in the history of art.
It is thought that the monastery was constructed in the 4th century, although
Alexios III, (1349 – 1390) can be named as the real founder. It was extended in
the 19th century, at a time when it enjoyed its most popular period. The
national park can be reached via the 48 km road connecting Trabzon to Macka
Altındere Milli Parkı,
Trabzon'un güneyinde Maçka yakınlarındadır. Bu milli parkın içinde, neredeyse bulutların bile
üzerinde yer alan muhteşem Sümela Manastırı bulunur. 270 m yükseklikteki bir uçurum
fasadında bulunan manastır en görkemli konuma Kommagene Kralı Alexius III. Komnenos döneminde getirilmiştir. III. Alexius'un taç
giyme töreni (1349) burada yapılmıştır. Manastırın içinde kütüphane, kilise,
rahip odaları, şapel, ayazma ve mutfak bölümleri bulunmaktadır.
