Description
An account of the resource
Ani once served as the capital city of the medieval Armenian kingdom and now lies just inside Turkey, abutting the border with modern Armenia. Until fairly recently, due to it's proximity to the border with Armenia, the whole city had been off limits to tourists as it lay within a militarised zone. During the 20th century the city was subject to vandalism, looting, deliberate destruction and questionable quality archaeological excavations that have all left their mark on the site and diminished it's splendour and how much could be learnt from it. This vast area is certainly still subject to looting and vandalism but it remains an archaeological and architectural treasure that demonstrates the former glories of the medieval Armenian people.
These images were taken in a single visit made in May 2015.

Description
An account of the resource
Kars Province is situated in the far east of modern day Turkey in the northern half of the region. It borders modern day Armenia and lies with Georgia to the north in close proximity. In antiquity and until the 20th century the area was an important region for the Armenian people who inhabited it. The most impressive relic of the Armenian peoples in the region is the ancient abandoned city of Ani. The modern provincial capital, Kars, preceded Ani as an Armenian capital. The region was bitterly contested by the Russian and Ottoman Empires in the 19th century. Kars still exhibits some signs of its Russian past in the style of some of its architecture.
This file contains some images of the Cathedral of Kars taken in May 2015. Ani, while in Kars province, is considered in its own separate collection.

Description
An account of the resource
Ani once served as the capital city of the medieval Armenian kingdom and now lies just inside Turkey, abutting the border with modern Armenia. Until fairly recently, due to it's proximity to the border with Armenia, the whole city had been off limits to tourists as it lay within a militarised zone. During the 20th century the city was subject to vandalism, looting, deliberate destruction and questionable quality archaeological excavations that have all left their mark on the site and diminished it's splendour and how much could be learnt from it. This vast area is certainly still subject to looting and vandalism but it remains an archaeological and architectural treasure that demonstrates the former glories of the medieval Armenian people.
These images were taken in a single visit made in May 2015.

An account of the resource
Built during the reign of King Gagik in the late 10th and early 11th centuries AD and intended to be a copy of the cathedral of Zvartnots (in modern day Armenia). The architect of the Ani cathedral was commissioned to build Gagik's church but flaws in its design meant it was very unstable. Attempts to strengthen the church failed and it collapsed not long after. Gagik's famous church was lost until the excavations of Nikolai Marr revealed it's location.
Sadly due to time constraints further investigation and collection of images of this church were not possible during my visit.
