Tao-Klarjeti, Turkey, Cathedral of Bana, 630
Bana is located in magnificent landscape.
The ruined church (photo 2007). Photos from the 1920s show that since that time the unique circular monument, reminiscent of Svartnots (Armenia) and St. Gregory-Ani (Turkey), has been subjected to extensive quarring of stones and spolia. It is today one of the most endangered archeological sites in northeastern Turkey.
