Holy Martyrs Church, Armenian church in Nubarashen district, Yerevan, Armenia.
The Holy Martyrs Church is a house of worship in the Nubarashen district built with traditional Armenian architectural elements and contemporary stone construction. The building displays angular forms and narrow windows characteristic of Armenian ecclesiastical design.
The building was consecrated in 2015, marking the centennial of the Armenian genocide with its opening. This timing made its completion a significant moment for commemorating this historical tragedy.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Armenian Apostolic community, where regular services and religious celebrations take place year-round. Visitors can observe the active spiritual life and traditional practices that define daily worship here.
The church is easily reached by public buses from central Yerevan and maintains regular visiting hours. Best visited in early morning or late afternoon when natural light highlights the stonework.
Architect Artak Ghulyan blended modern construction methods with classical Armenian ecclesiastical design when planning the space. This rare middle ground between tradition and contemporary building appears in every detail of the interior.
