Moutalaske

Moutalaske (Greek: Μουταλάσκη, romanized: Moutalaskē) was a town of ancient Cappadocia, inhabited in Byzantine times.

[2] The former, during a visit to emperor Anastasios I in Constantinople, sent money back to his home village in Moutalaske to fund the construction of a church dedicated to the Saints Cosmas and Damian.

[3] There are traces of a troglodyte settlement here including a monastery dedicated to Panagia (its naos and part of its choir were preserved in the vineyards of Nea Moutalaske around 1900) and, according to Hans Rott, two cave chapels dedicated to Saints Georgios and Koimesis.
