Surb Astvatsatsin Church

The church features a three-nave basilica structure without a dome, incorporating carved khachkars from the 17th century on its exterior walls.

Following the devastating earthquake of 1679, the current structure was rebuilt between 1693 and 1694 through funding from Khoja Panos, a wealthy Yerevan resident.

The church holds regular Armenian Apostolic services and maintains its role as a religious center in the Kanaker district of Yerevan.

The church includes a main altar on the eastern side of the prayer hall with separate vestries positioned at the northern and southern corners.

The structure incorporates tuff stone as its primary building material, following traditional Armenian architectural methods of the late 17th century.
