Tsiranavor Church of Ashtarak, Medieval church in Ashtarak, Armenia.
The Tsiranavor Church stands at the edge of a gorge, constructed with apricot-colored tufa stone and featuring a cruciform central plan layout.
The structure, dating from the 5th century, underwent fortification modifications in the 17th century including doubled north and west walls with gun slots.
Three inscribed churches in Ashtarak, including Tsiranavor, represent a tale of sisters who wore different colored dresses and fell for the same prince.
The church remains partially preserved with a collapsed roof, two entrances, and a semi-circular apse, making it accessible through the streets of Ashtarak.
Russian markers inside the building caused confusion with nearby Spitakavor Church, leading locals to identify them by their distinct stone colors.
