Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, Religious patriarchate in Old City, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Armenian Patriarchate features a grand entrance gate, administrative offices, living quarters for priests, and reception halls adorned with domed ceilings.
The building received tax exemption status from Mamluk authorities in 1456, as documented by an Arabic inscription above the main entrance doorway.
The library within the Patriarchate maintains collections of ancient Armenian manuscripts, documents, and books that record centuries of religious and cultural heritage.
The main entrance gate, installed in 1646, leads visitors through a marble fountain to guided tours of the complex and religious services.
The Patriarchate received recognition in 1823 as an independent religious institution managing Armenian Orthodox churches and schools in Jerusalem.
