Projects Ani
In the far reaches of the Eastern Turkish border, there lies a forgotten gem - Ani, the "City of a Thousand and One Churches." A once-cherished, elegantly withered rose, its narrative an echo of the relentless march of time.
With roots that delve into the 5th century, Ani was the crowning jewel of the Bagratid Armenian Kingdom, a testament to architectural grandeur and the vibrant fusion of diverse cultures. Here, where the winds whisper ancient tales and the Arpaçay River gently murmurs in the background, Ani's relics embrace those who venture close. The remnants of its churches, crumbling fortifications, and disheveled palaces reveal the whispers of a bygone era. Ani carries the essence of history in its time-worn stones, a poetic tapestry of time's tender touch.
