— La Chapelle Sainte Catherine / Die St. Katharine-Kirche —

English: Situated between the Karanlık (Dark) Church and the Çarıkı Church, the Chapel of St. Catherine has a free-cross nave and narthex. The central bay is covered by a dome and the cross arms are barrel-vaulted. Its apse is closed by a templon. The narthex has nine floor graves and two arcosolia (burial niches).

The chapel of St. Catherine, built by a donor named Anna, dates back to the 11th century.
