About Aprank Monastery
Aprank Monastery is a tourist attraction. Location: Tercan İlçesi, Erzincan Province.
Aprank or Abrenk, also known as Saint David, is a former Armenian Apostolic monastery near Üçpınar, Tercan in Erzincan Province, eastern Turkey that was abandoned after the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Composed of a lower walled monastery and an upper chapel, the complex lies in a derelict and semi-ruined state. The monastery is best known for a pair of monumental, nearly 5 meters tall khachkars (cross stones) from the late 12th century.
