 Sümela Monastery Sümela Monastery, built on a steep cliff at the foot of Karadağ overlooking the Altındere valley, within the borders of Altındere Village in Trabzon's Maçka District, is popularly known as "Mother Mary". The structure, which is about 300 meters above the valley, has continued the tradition of establishing monasteries outside the city, in forests, caves and waterfronts.- It is said that the monastery founded in the name of the Virgin Mary took the name "Sümela" from the word "melas" meaning "black".
