So begehrt war der Taubenguano, mit dem man hier die Weinberge und die ihrer Süße wegen begehrten Aprikosen düngte, dass an der Außenseite dieser Taubenschläge Verzierungen ausgemeißelt wurden, die ebenso kunstvoll waren wie diejenigen an Kappadokiens späteren Höhlenkirchen.
So prized was pigeon guano, used here to nourish grapes, potatoes, and famously sweet apricots, that the carved exteriors of many dovecotes bear flourishes as ornate as those found on Cappadocia’s cave churches.
