Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator

The Armenian Church features white Doric columns, triangular pediments, and a circular interior design topped by a spire displaying the date 1835.

The first twelve Armenian families who settled in Singapore commissioned the church, raising funds from local merchants and Armenian communities in Java and India.

The Garden of Memories contains tombstones of notable Armenians, including Agnes Joaquim who created Singapore's national flower, relocated from former cemeteries.

Located at 60 Hill Street, the church maintains its religious function with periodic Divine liturgies while serving as a National Monument of Singapore.

This structure became the first building in Singapore to receive electrical installations in 1909, marking a technological advancement in the colonial era.
