Abstract

The monumental rock-cut façades of the tenth to eleventh century-mansions – so-called courtyard complexes – in Cappadocia, central Turkey, are rare examples of secular Byzantine architecture. While these symmetrically designed façades adorned with superimposed arches differ from the simpler ones (both carved and built) in the region, they bear striking similarities to others from the broader Mediterranean basin. This article offers new insights into the discussion on the uniqueness of the rock-cut façades of courtyard complexes and reconsiders the raison d’être of this ‘false’ monumentality in the rural setting of Byzantine Cappadocia.

岩石切割的外墙：拜占庭卡帕多西亚“虚假”纪念碑的传送带

土耳其中部卡帕多西亚10至11世纪豪宅（即所谓的庭院建筑群）的巨大岩石切割外墙是拜占庭世俗建筑的罕见例子。虽然这些对称设计的立面装饰着叠加的拱门，与该地区更简单的立面（雕刻和建造）不同，但它们与更广阔的地中海盆地的其他立面有着惊人的相似之处。本文为讨论庭院建筑群岩石切割外墙的独特性提供了新的见解，并重新思考了拜占庭卡帕多西亚乡村环境中这种“虚假”纪念碑的存在理由。
