Ebu'l Muammeran Camii


The most substantial remnant of this 11th-century mosque is its minaret, now lying on its side with the spiral stairs inside clearly visible. It was ruined in the early 20th century.

The mosque lies northwest of Ani's cathedral, and to the north and south are excavated streets lined with what where shops and workshops – Ani's medieval 'shopping centre'.
