The New York-based World Monuments Fund and the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism are partnering to conserve the Ani Cathedral and the Church of the Holy Savior.
NEW YORK (armradio.am) — Bonnie Burnham, president of the New York based World Monuments Fund (WMF), has announced that WMF and the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism have embarked on a historic partnership to conserve the Ani Cathedral and the Church of the Holy Savior.
Once the site of hundreds of religious buildings, palaces, fortifications and other structures, Ani was, in the 10th century, one of the world’s great cities. Today, however, it stands abandoned, and its celebrated historic buildings are in a precarious state.
