The Monastery of Horomos is a prominent 10th century Armenian monastic complex about 15 kilometers northeast of Ani in historical Armenia (now in Turkey). It is one of the most important religious and cultural centers within the Kingdom of Ani and was founded during the reign of King Abas the first (943-953).Some time after 1965 the Monastery of Horomos was partly destroyed most likely as part of the Turkish government’s policy of cultural genocide.
