Ani – Ghost City of 1001 Churches


A haunting collection of photos of Ani, once a thriving city of 200,000 on the border of Turkey and Armenia, now a ghost city.
The Global Heritage Fund, as recently as October of 2010 reported that Ani is "On the Verge" of irreparable loss and obliteration, citing inadequate management and looting as the main causes.
