Kars On Iki Havariler Kilisesi

It is a shah work that was built as a church and later converted into a mosque and managed to survive for many years.

An Armenian church converted into a mosque. Kars is located in the square. It differs from the other two adjacent mosques with its appearance.

The building that was converted into a mosque that we saw from the outside during our visit to Kars. We visited in winter, when the weather is very cold, it is difficult to visit these places. This is a beautiful historical place.

I think it is the most beautiful and most original building in Kars city center. I liked that they did not change the original parts of the church by turning it into a mosque.

It is a structure that defies history, which has been converted from a church structure to a mosque. It has a very nice build. Due to its architecture, the interior is cold in the summer and warm in the winter.

The building, which is used as the Kümbet Mosque today, is actually an Armenian church, the 12 apostles are named after the 12 figures around the dome. Be sure to visit the mosque right in front of the castle. The dome is conical in shape. The niches under the dome are round inside and five-cornered outside. The main entrance of the building is on the west side. In addition, the apse is in the form of a semicircle. In addition, the main space under the dome with a diameter of 12 meters, which includes the apse, is illuminated with 8 thin and long vaulted windows. The Church of the Apostles is made of basalt stone specific to the region. Architecturally, it has the typical features of Armenian churches.
