Surp Nerses Shnorhali Cathedral, Armenian cathedral in Bella Vista, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Surp Nerses Shnorhali is an Armenian cathedral in Bella Vista located on Avenida Agraciada with characteristic domes and arches of Armenian Apostolic architecture. The complex includes a memorial with sculptural works that commemorate important historical events.

The Armenian Apostolic community in Uruguay established the church in 1928, a few years after the first Armenian immigrants arrived in the country. In 1968 the architect Rafael Israelyan was commissioned to build the current temple on Avenida Agraciada. The site forms part of a cluster of Armenian-Uruguayan institutions and includes a sculpture by Nerses Ounanian honouring the victims of the Armenian genocide.

The cathedral is named after a medieval Armenian theological scholar and reflects the deep religious identity of the Armenian community living here. Visitors can observe symbolic details in the interior that keep Armenian spiritual traditions alive in daily worship.

The site is accessible from Avenida Agraciada and located in the downtown area of Montevideo. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior and appropriate clothing are recommended.

The memorial sculpture on the church grounds is by Nerses Ounanian, an Armenian-Uruguayan artist; it honours the victims of the Armenian genocide. The church itself was built to a design by the Armenian architect Rafael Israelyan, commissioned in 1968.
