Bana Cathedral, also known as Penek Kilisesi, is a must-visit attraction in Erzurum Province, Turkey. This ruined early medieval cathedral, built in the 7th century, boasts a large tetraconch design surrounded by a near-rotunda polygonal ambulatory and marked with a cylindrical drum. It was used as a royal cathedral by the Bagrationi dynasty until the Ottoman conquest of the area in the 16th century. Despite being converted into a fortress by the Ottoman army during the Crimean War, Bana Cathedral remains a fascinating historical and architectural wonder.
