While walking around the city center of Kars, Fethiye Mosque appeared with its striking building. This building, which was built as a church during the Russian occupation in the 19th century, was converted into a mosque after the independence of Kars. I recommend you to see this mosque. In the same garden, you can see te staues of importatant headmen in the history of Turks.
