Church of Saint Gregory of Gagkashen, Armenian church in Ani, Turkiye
The Church of Saint Gregory of Gagkashen features a circular ambulatory surrounding a quatrefoil interior with intricate stone carvings and geometric patterns.
Built between 1001 and 1005 by architect Trdat, the church required structural reinforcement in 1013 with additional masonry around columns in each apse.
The church merged Byzantine and Armenian architectural elements, reflecting the regional influences during King Gagik's reign in the early 11th century.
The foundations and remaining walls of the church structure provide researchers with information about medieval Armenian construction techniques and architectural designs.
Archaeological excavations in 1906 revealed a statue depicting King Gagik holding a model of the church, offering insights into its original appearance.
