St. Astvatzatzin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The church of St Astvatzatzin (Mother of God) is a series of small, free-standing cruciform churches and was built in 1866 and for which quite large number of decorative parts from the already ruined cathedral is used. The entire area contains a rich presence of historical evidence, among others the remnants of building, which according to T. Tormanian are the ruins of noble residence, probably belonging to the house of Kamsarakan.
