Ani (in armeno: ???, in latino: Abnicum) è una città medievale in rovina situata nella provincia turca di Kars, vicino al confine con l'Armenia. Nel medioevo fu la capitale del regno armeno, che comprendeva la maggior parte dell'attuale Armenia e della Turchia orientale. La città è collocata tra le gole del fiume Akhurian ad est e la valle Tzaghkotzadzor ad ovest. Il fiume Akhurian è un affluente del fiume Aras e forma parte del confine tra la Turchia e l'Armenia. Chiamata la "Città delle 1001 chiese", la città era al crocevia di diverse strade commerciali e i suoi edifici religiosi, palazzi e fortificazioni erano tra i più avanzati, sia a livello tecnico che artistico, del mondo. Nel suo periodo di massimo sviluppo, all'interno delle mura di Ani vivevano tra i 100.000 ed i 200.000 abitanti e la città, nota in tutta la regione per lo splendore e la ricchezza, fu rivale di Costantinopoli, Il Cairo e Baghdad; successivamente fu, però, abbandonata e dimenticata per secoli.
