Church of the Holy Apostles (Surp Arak'elots)3D Model
Also known as Havariler Kilisesi, this 11th-century Armenian church in Ani, Turkey, was built by the Pahlavuni dynasty. It features a rare inscribed quatrefoil plan with four domed corner chapels and a central dome, once adorned with carved pomegranates and grapes. Hollow clay containers lightened the dome’s weight.
The 13th-century south narthex (gavit) blends Armenian and Seljuk styles, with muqarnas vaulting, intricate carvings, and inscriptions on trade and taxes. Once surrounded by mausoleums and a small church, much of the site lies in ruins. Despite this, it remains a testament to Ani’s rich architectural heritage.
