Holy Cross Church, Rostov-na-Donu
Holy Cross Church, Rostov-na-Donu, Armenian church in Rostov-na-Donu, Russia.
The rectangular church features small projections, an eastern apse, and a two-tier bell tower with a high four-sided spire built in 1862.
Armenian settlers from Crimea constructed this stone church between 1786 and 1792, making it the oldest surviving building in modern Rostov-na-Donu.
The church houses a 6th-century khachkar, a carved memorial stone brought by Armenian settlers from Crimea, representing their spiritual heritage.
The church grounds include a surrounding park with a fence and a natural spring with a baptismal font on the eastern side.
From 1790, the monastery operated the first printing house in southern Russia and maintained a seminary with a boarding school for students.
