Altımermer Altımermer is a quarter located in the European part of Istanbul, Turkey. It is located in the western part of the district of Fatih (the walled city). Although it is difficult to define exactly its boundary, Altımermer lies between the neighborhoods ("mahalleler") of "Kocamustafapaşa" and "Seyyid Ömer". The main axis of the quarter, "Altımermer Caddesi", stretches between the neighborhoods of "Kocamustafapaşa" and "Sayyidina Umar". The name of the quarter, "six marbles" in English, comes from the broken fragments of a fallen Byzantine column which during the Ottoman period were supposed to have magic properties. In this quarter was built between the 5th and the 6th century the Cistern of Mocius, the largest water reservoir in Constantinople, known since the Ottoman period as the "Altımermer Çukurbostanı" ("the sunken garden of Altımermer", since it was used as vegetable garden), and now turned into the education park of Fatih.

Lichk Lichk (Armenian: Լիճք , formerly known as Gyol) is a major village located south of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. Although the village was officially founded in 1829-30, there are ruins of earlier habitation including the remains of a medieval town (Paul Village). There are also the ruins of the early Tsaghkavank (meaning "Flowering Monastery") which sit adjacent to the church of S. Astvatsatsin at the hilltop cemetery. Tsaghkavank overlooks the village of Lichk, and the remaining lower walls are cylindrical walls with a very small entry. The reasoning behind this is that one would technically be forced to bow in respect upon entering the church. The church of S. Astvatsatsin is a small basilica with some broken khachkars and gravestones embedded into its walls. It is currently in disrepair as the roof has collapsed. Surrounding the two churches is a 13th-century cemetery with numerous interesting khachkars. Nearby is a cyclopean fort. Between 1950-60, an Aramaic inscription was found nearby.
