itinerary invariably includes a multitude of churches and monasteries. Modern
Armenia is the land of churches. Historic Armenia in Anatolia was also a land of churches,
with nearly 4000 churches and monasteries. The Van Lake region alone had over
300 churches. The ancient City of Ani, dubbed the City of 1001 Churches,
contained 40 churches.
