Ani Cathedral is one of the most famous monuments of Armenian architecture, and indeed, of world architecture. But there is still much to be learned about it. This lecture gives an overview of the building, the way it has been studied, and poses some new questions. Building on my recent discoveries of the frescoes in the sanctuary, Dr. Maranci will focus on the architecture, inscriptions, and sculpture of the exterior.

Dr. Christina Maranci is Arthur H. Dadian and Ara Oztemel Professor of Armenian Art and Architecture and Chair of the Department of Art History at Tufts University.
