See the Armenian Church on Akdamar Island
Gevaş · Van · Türkiye
Akdamar’s Armenian Church of the Holy Cross carries a small image of itself on its wall: a western façade relief depicts King Gagik presenting a model of the church to Christ. Find the scene, compare the building in his hands with the church before you, and photograph without touching the relief. Check boat services and visiting conditions beforehand.
