Akdamar Church | Cathedral of the Holy Cross [Van / Turkey]
- 4 years ago
The most interesting place to visit is undoubtedly Akdamar Church and Island. The church is located in an island in Lake Van and it is possible to reach there by boats. After about 30 minutes boat-ride, you will be amazed with what you will see there.
Akdamar Church was built in between 915 and 921. It has amazing reliefs on its’ walls which include lots of stories from The Old Testament and lots of creatures. The church has some frescoes inside, but unfortunately they are not in a good shape. The interesting point about the frescoes is the look of the people.
