About Church of the Holy Apostles

Church of the Holy Apostles is a tourist attraction. Location: Kars, Kars Province.

From Wikipedia

The Church of the Holy Apostles, also Arak’elots (Armenian: Սուրբ Առաքելոց եկեղեցի, Surb Arakelots yekeghets’i), is an important ecclesiastical monument of the historical 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.
