The Ruins of Ani

Church of Saint Gregory

A 1040 inscription records its role as a family sepulchre, with rooms built for Grigor, his son Hamza, and daughter Seda. The L-shaped crypt, later desecrated by treasure hunters, once housed at least three sealed graves. The interior retains faint 13th-century frescoes, Armenian, Russian, and Arabic graffiti, and architectural details suggesting later restorations.

Church of the Holy Apostles (Surp Arak'elots)

Also known as Havariler Kilisesi, this 11th-century Armenian church in Ani, Turkey, was built by the Pahlavuni dynasty .Once surrounded by mausoleums and a small church, much of the site lies in ruins. Despite this, it remains a testament to Ani’s rich architectural heritage.

Monastery of the Hripsimian Virgins

This isolated 13th-century monastery stands on a rocky promontory above the Arpa/Akhurian River and may have housed a community of nuns. Unusual for its time, its design may have been influenced by Turkish kumbet tombs or earlier Armenian churches. Now a picturesque ruin, it remains a unique example of Ani’s architectural heritage.
