pfs10102 TURKEYE – ANI-excavations – view from Palace towards the caves’

DESCRIPTION:
The remnants of an underground city
“Opposite the Church of St Gregory of the Abughamrentsare a series of caves dug out of the rock, which some historians speculate may predate Ani. The caves are sometimes described as Ani’s “underground city” and signs point to their use as tombs and churches. In the early 20th Century, some of these caves were still used as dwellings.”
