Saint John the Baptist Church, Armenian Apostolic church in Kond district, Yerevan, Armenia
This three-nave basilica church features a main altar on the eastern side, attached sacristies, and marble flooring throughout the interior space.
The structure, funded by Melik Aghamal, was constructed in 1710 to replace a medieval church that collapsed during the 1689 earthquake.
The church maintains a dedicated educational center, Hovhannes Kozern, which provides courses in ancient Armenian language and regional history studies.
The church building welcomes visitors daily between March and November, with guided tours explaining the architectural elements and religious significance.
The 1980s reconstruction added a new bell tower and enhanced the structure with tuff stone covering both the dome and exterior walls.
