- Armenian Church ADD TO MY ROUTE
The basalical planned church, located in the center of the old palace district, was made of cut stone. The two columns in front of the gate constitute the main elements of the courtyard with a portico, which is already built with stones. The main entrance is on the west façade and the epitaph is empty and it is in the form of a relief cross. There are one windows on the narrow faces and four on the long faces. Its end is divided into three naves with two columns and three arches in the direction of its long axis. The frescoes have been completely destroyed and their traces can only be seen inside the arch. Column capitals are also decorated with leaf motifs. The hipped roof is covered with basalt stone slabs. It does not have an inscription, it is a bit like the church at the top, because of its architectural resemblance to the 19th century. It is dated and seems to save the adjacent church from loneliness if the necessary restoration is done. It is necessary to open the porticoes and clean the interior and exterior.
