Church of the Holy Apostles (Ani)

Ani, Turkey · built 1000

The Church of the Holy Apostles, also Arak’elots (Surb Arakelots yekeghets’i), is an important ecclesiastical monument of the ruined city of Ani, modern Turkey, on the border with Armenia. The church is composed in two parts: the church itself, now largely ruined, and the columned gavit in front of it, remaining in large part. The remains of the gavit are clearly derived from Seljuk architectural designs.
