Kozluca (Armenian: Ղոզլուջա) is a village in the Kars District of Kars Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 102 (2023).[2]

The village houses the remains of the Armenian Bagnayr Monastery, built in the 10th century CE. The name "Bagnayr" means "cave of fire altars", suggesting the much earlier presence of a Zoroastrian sanctuary on the site.[3]
