位于土耳其中部的一座拥有190年历史的希腊东正教教堂正在接受修缮，以迎接游客的到来。这一举措旨在推动旅游业的发展，使其不仅仅局限于卡帕多西亚地区那些更为著名的景点。
A 190-year-old Greek Orthodox church in central Türkiye is being prepared for visitors as part of efforts to expand tourism beyond the better-known sites of the Cappadocia region.
这座名为“圣尤斯塔修斯希腊教堂”（St. Eustathios Greek Church）的教堂位于凯塞里省（Kayseri Province）的因切苏（Incesu）地区，距离卡帕多西亚地区的著名景点阿瓦诺斯（Avanos）、乌尔古普（Urgup）和戈雷梅（Goreme）约45至50公里（28至31英里）。该教堂建于1836年，目前正被改造成因切苏市博物馆。
The St. Eustathios Greek Church in Incesu, a district of Kayseri province about 45-50 kilometers (28-31 miles) from the Cappadocia destinations of Avanos, Urgup and Goreme, was built in 1836 and is being converted into the Incesu City Museum. The church, which features wall paintings, stonework and inscriptions in Karamanli -- Turkish written using the Greek alphabet -- is one of Incesu's important historical structures.
教堂内部装饰有壁画、石雕以及用希腊字母书写的土耳其文铭文，是因切苏地区重要的历史遗迹之一。据凯塞里市政府介绍，这项修复工作始于2021年，并于去年完成。修复过程中，建筑物的原始结构以及其中的壁画、浮雕、雕刻等元素都得到了妥善保护。
Its restoration, which began in 2021, was completed last year. The work preserved the building's original fabric as well as its frescoes, reliefs, carvings and other features, according to the Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality.
市政府历史建筑与博物馆部门负责人塔伊丰·塔拉斯利（Tayfun Talasli）告诉《安纳托卢》（Anadolu）杂志：这座教堂在1923年希腊与土耳其之间的人口交换之前一直被用作宗教场所；之后它曾被用于多种用途，包括军事仓库、档案馆、剧院和职业学校等。
Tayfun Talasli, head of the municipality's Historical Buildings and Museums Branch Directorate, said the church was used as a place of worship until the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Türkiye. It was later used for different purposes, including as a military warehouse, archive, theater hall and vocational school, he told Anadolu.
博物馆的布展工作已经完成超过80%，官员们计划尽快对外开放。塔拉斯利表示，修复工作主要参考了档案照片、相关文件以及当地居民的口述历史资料。
The museum's display and arrangement work is more than 80% complete, and officials plan to open it soon. Talasli said the restoration was based on archival photographs, documents and oral histories of people who had lived in the area.
“我们将在一楼建立一个博物馆，用来展示这座城市的有形和无形文化遗产，”他说。游客们可以在这里了解因切苏的历史、建筑、著名人物、考古发现、美食文化以及当地的农业和葡萄种植情况。此外，他们还可以看到在附近奥伦塞希尔（Orensehir）考古遗址出土的文物。
"We will create a museum on the ground floor, where we will tell about the city's tangible and intangible cultural heritage," he said. Visitors will be able to learn about Incesu's history, architecture, notable figures, archaeology, gastronomy, agriculture and grape production. They will also see artifacts, including ceramics unearthed at the nearby Orensehir archaeological site, Talasli said.
市政府希望将这座教堂纳入更广泛的卡帕多奇亚旅游目的地，让游客能够将这一历史遗迹与该地区现有的旅游景点结合起来游览。
The municipality hopes the church will be incorporated into the wider Cappadocia tourism destination, allowing visitors to combine the historic site with the region's established tourist attractions.
