Agri Province

Türkiye

This is an architectural wonder within the shadow of the famed Mt Ararat. When I visited it was not finished. It was begun in1685, continued in 1784 and still not finished. The relief work in the various courtyards is intricate. At this stage I'd count it as a folly, along with Hurst Castle and Neuschwanstein Castle. However, the journey is the attraction. #StunningStructures #Details If you enjoy the journey as much as the destination then travel to the far eastern reaches of Turkey.
