Saint John the Baptist Church

Saint John the Baptist Church rises 50 meters high and features four domes, reflecting traditional Armenian architectural elements in its modern construction.

The church construction began in August 2006 and concluded with an inauguration ceremony in May 2013, funded by Armenian businessman Gagik Tsarukyan.

Artists Abraham Azaryan and Hayk Azaryan led a group of 40 painters and sculptors to create the internal decorations and religious artworks.

The church maintains regular religious services under the Diocese of Kotayk, providing spiritual guidance to the residents of Abovyan and surrounding areas.

Chief architect Artak Ghulyan collaborated with engineers Hovhannes Meyroyan and Tigran Dadayan to design this contemporary interpretation of Armenian religious architecture.
