Vahramashen Church, Religious monument near Amberd Fortress, Armenia
The Vahramashen Church features a cruciform design with four two-story chambers at its corners and a twelve-faceted drum supporting the dome.
Prince Vahram Pahlavuni commissioned the construction of this religious structure in 1026, during a period of regional power dynamics with the Bagratuni dynasty.
The church demonstrates traditional Armenian architectural elements through its stone carvings, cornice work, and cross relief designs integrated into the facades.
The religious site stands at an elevation on Mount Aragats slopes, approximately 34 kilometers from Yerevan in the Aragatsotn region of Armenia.
The structure maintains its original conical umbrella dome, which creates specific acoustic properties within the interior worship space.
