Noah's Ark and Noah's Burial Place, Nakjchivan in Azerbaijan

Go east of Turkey and you come to Armenia, inside which you find an enclave of Azerbaijan people. 

Distinctive features of architecture include arches, tall oblong tower, sometimes with conical tops, magnificent mosques and mausoleums, ornamental brown brickwork and beautiful blue tiles.

You will see a lot of fine mausoleums. 

Smaller, but unusual monuments are the rams on gravestones.

Sad to see that historic Armenian gravestones have been destroyed. This is what they looked like.
