Bagnair Monastery Ruins

For a driving excursion en route to Ani, you could head to Bagnair Armenian Monastery ruins. Two church building-shells remain, the larger one (10th century) is badly damaged; the smaller one, 200m across a gully, is in better condition, with a nice 12-sided drum-tower adorned with blind arcades.
