The Cathedral of Mren
About 34km south of Ani, as the crow flies, the Arpa/Akhurian and Digor rivers join. Just before that point the two rivers flow through deep canyons, between which is a flat plateau on which was once located a settlement known as Mren. Originally a small town, the site is now completely uninhabited and the only surviving identifiable structure is an imposing Armenian church whose lofty silhouette is visible from many miles away.
