Saint Sargis Church of Tsovinar, Medieval church in Tsovinar, Armenia

Saint Sarkis Church is a small, dome-less basilica built between the 12th and 13th centuries in the foothills south of Lake Sevan, in Gegharkunik Province. It stands south of Tsovinar village on a promontory above a small gorge, with a nearly flat roof covered in living grass and stone walls. A cemetery of medieval graves surrounds it.

This structure was built between the 12th and 13th centuries as part of the medieval religious building tradition in Armenia. The roof was restored during the 20th century to protect the ancient church from deterioration.

The church is a basilica of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and medieval graves lie in a small cemetery around it. The site is also known as Surp Sarkis, the Armenian form of Saint Sarkis, a saint widely venerated in Armenia. The graves and the church together mark a burial ground used beside the village of Tsovinar.

The church stands south of Tsovinar village on a promontory above a small gorge; the medieval cemetery surrounds it and a spring with a cave lies just below in the ravine. The grass-covered roof and uneven ground call for sturdy shoes, and the slope down to the spring is steep.

The ravine below the church holds a spring and a cave, reached by walking down from the promontory. The church itself has no dome, and its nearly flat roof is covered in living grass, so the building reads as a low stone mass against the slope.
