Սուրբ Գևորգ եկեղեցի, Armenian church in Sighnaghi, Georgia

Saint George Church in Sighnaghi is a brick and rough-stone building measuring 15.45 by 9.70 metres, single-nave inside but resembling a three-nave basilica outside. It has three entrances (west, north, south), a small bell tower on the ridge of its tiled gable roof, and a separate arched bell tower a few metres to the south-east. Inside, a baptismal font is set into the north wall and partly preserved frescoes carry Armenian inscriptions.

Built in 1793 as an Armenian church, according to the National Archives of Armenia. Repairs costing 820 rubles 39 kopecks were made in 1851 under elder Hovsep Mkhitaryan, and in 1861 walled rooms for pilgrims were built around it without permission from church authorities. A school with 60 pupils opened in 1896. Closed on 22 January 1924, it became a club.

The church keeps silver liturgical vessels and crosses donated by Sighnaghi residents, several bearing Armenian and Georgian inscriptions with dates such as 1805 and 1816. A gravestone inside carries a Georgian epitaph for Ter-Grigor, son of the goldsmith Sahak of Shirvan, dated 1797. Half-preserved wall paintings with Armenian inscriptions remain on the walls.

The church has three entrances, on the west, north and south facades. The main bell tower with an arched gate stands a few metres south-east of the church, against the wall, and is visible from every part of the town. The baptismal font is set into the north wall.

Inside, a tombstone bears a Georgian inscription for Ter-Grigor, son of the Shirvan goldsmith Sahak, dated 1797, asking readers to say "Lord, have mercy". The church also kept silver vessels and crosses with Armenian and Georgian dedications, among them a 1805 silver chalice given by Darejan of the Mamulyan family.
