Kars and Ani
Kars allows to approach several heritages from the high plateau, from its citadel to the ancient church of the Apostles. In the east, Ani is spreading the remains of an Armenian capital on the edge of a border ravine. Lake Çıldır adds a landscaped stage to the north; its banks and Ani require separate routes from the city.
To understand what Kars and Ani are, you must look at the archaeological site of Ani, Cathedral of Ani and Citadelle of Kars. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, shores and lakes and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Heritage
Archaeological site of Ani
Ani preserves the remains of a capital of the Armenian kingdom, established on the edge of a ravine now bordering Armenia. Churches, ramparts and urban traces make up a world heritage complex, of which the cathedral is only one of the monuments.
Heritage
Cathedral of Ani
Built at the turn of the 11th century under the direction of architect Trdat, the cathedral is one of the major monuments of Ani. Its volumes remain despite the disappearance of the dome and the damage of several earthquakes.
Heritage
Citadelle de Kars
The citadel occupies a height above old Kars. Several reconstructions, including medieval and Ottoman, have transformed its fortifications. Its location offers a key to understanding the development of the city around its defensive functions.
Heritage
Ancienne cathédrale des Apôtres de Kars
Built in the 10th century in the Armenian kingdom of the Bagratian, the Church of the Apostles has undergone several changes of use. Today it serves as a mosque under the name of Kümbet Camii, near the foot of the citadel.
