Ani on the Silk Road

We visited Ani yesterday, a medieval Armenian capital once 100 000 strong, and a significant post on the Silk Road (on one of it's many stretches that is). Today the ruins of its city walls and churches still stand, overlooking the Turkish-Armenian border gorge from the Turkish side. It was quite amazing and I hope to show you more of the marvels of its architecture.





This was the great cathedral of Ani.
