Kars Province Travel Guide

Türkiye

In the town of Kars you'll find this dark dark church of the Apostles. There is a lot of Russian influence about the town in the far far east of Turkey. You must try to read Orhan Pamuk's book - Snow. You really are somewhere else when you get here. #Architecture

Ani was once the Armenian capital. This is a windswept plain with the remnants of a cathedral, georgian churches, zoroastrian temple and the first mosque built by the Selcuk Turks. It's breathtaking in that it's literally littered with architectural history. #Trove on #Architecture
Georgian church on the plains of Ani. This could very well be the one that was half-destroyed by a lightning strike in 1957. Imagine surviving for centuries then being struck! #Architecture
