A Turkish Military sign warns the public that the area beyond is a closed military zone, in the Ancient Armenian Capital of Ani lies the empty, crumbling site of the once-great metropolis of Ani, known as "the city of a thousand and one churches." Founded more than 1,600 years ago, Ani was situated on several trade routes, and grew to become a walled city of more than 100,000 residents by the 11th century. In the centuries that followed, Ani and the surrounding region were conquered hundreds of times, in modern day Turkey Near Kars. Ani. Turkey. 28/06/2016
