5Exif II* G ( 1 + 2 4 ; H X i j Northeastern Anatolia. Ani, a ruined and uninhabited medieval city situated near the border with Armenia. The design of the Cathedral of Ani or Surp Asdvadzadzin (church of the Holy Mother of God finished in 1001) was the work of Trdat, the most celebrated architect of medieval Armenia. The cathedral is a domed basilica that contains several progressive features (pointed arches and clustered piers) that give to it the appearance of Gothic architecture (a style which the Ani cathedral predates by several centuries). Ani was once the capital of a medieval Armenian kingdom that covered much of present day Armenia and eastern Turkey. Called the "City of 1001 Churches", it stood on various trade routes and its many religious buildings, palaces, and fortifications were amongst the most technically and artistically advanced structures in the world. At its height, with a population of more than 100,000 people, was a rival of Constantinople. Ani has been abandoned and largely forgotten for centuries and only in the 19th century European travelers rediscovered Ani for the outside world.
