Kars On Iki Havariler Kilisesi

I love the architecture of the church.

The Apostles church, located at the southern outskirts of Kars Castle, is one of the Armenian churches in the city and was built by King Abbas between 932-937 A.D. in the period of the Bagali kingdom. The church centre is planned and has a steep-angled place that resembles four clover leaves and expands with four sights. Later in 1064, this church was converted into a mosque in the region of Muslim domination and was named after Kumet Mosque. Russian Orthodox mosque when the region enters Russian domination..

In Kars, all historical buildings between 100 years and 1000 years have been restored with the same color black stone. It seems that a little more attention needs to be paid about this historical artifact restoration. At least the restoration of a historic building. It should be suitable for the living conditions of the relevant period. In summary, I think it should be approached a little rationally. In other words, it does not seem very rational to build mosques, Armenian churches, bridges, government offices with the same stone in different long periods of time. At least if this stone is the stone of this place, if the construction was made with this black stone in every period, at least the stone processing technique changed at different times.

The church of the Apostles, its old name, was named Kümbet mosque after it was converted into a mosque. It is one of the must-see places in the center made of natural stones of Kars and transformed into a beautiful structure. Well preserved inside. There is no parking problem. Around there are nice large sitting areas and relaxation areas.

Build a mosque there. Make a mosque here. Build a separate mosque for each house. Do not respect other people's culture. Desert monkeys take you ....
