1827 years old

Can you believe there is a church right here in Elazığ that is 1827 years old? It is in the side of the Harput mountain and is Armenian Orthodox. Part of the church interior is exposed cave or mountain. We actually missed the doorway at first because it is small (Taci-size really... about 5 ft.). The name of the church is the Virgin Mary Church. It seemed like it was still holding services, but the people we spoke to said that it really isn't active. There is, however, an active Armenian church in a different part of the city. Turkish word - kilise or church
