Arak Monastery

Known in Muş travel guides as Arak Church/Monastery, this structure is one of the notable examples of the region’s Christian cultural heritage. Considered together with its mountainous rural surroundings, the ruins connect Muş not only with its Seljuk and Manzikert heritage but also with its older, multicultural past.
