Saint Karapet Church, Tbilisi, Armenian church in Old Tbilisi, Georgia.
Saint Karapet Church stands between Chugureti and Avlabari districts, displaying characteristic Armenian architectural features with its traditional stone construction and angular design patterns.
Built in 1705 by nobleman Baghdasar Isahak Kamazov, the church remained intact during the 1930s Soviet demolitions while other Armenian religious structures were destroyed under Lavrentiy Beria.
The church grounds contain the burial site of Jason Tumanian, former mayor of Tbilisi, and served as a connection point for Armenian literature figure Nar-Dos.
Located at coordinates 41.698126, 44.810091, the church currently operates under Georgian Orthodox administration while maintaining its Armenian architectural heritage.
The building's ornate doors, reflecting traditional Armenian artistic patterns, were removed following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and its bell tower was demolished in 1995.
