Armenian Evangelical Church

The stone building bears typical 19th-century Armenian Protestant architectural elements, with deteriorated frescoes depicting religious figures on its remaining walls.

The church served as a central gathering place for Armenian Protestants until the early 20th century, after which it underwent multiple functional changes.

The structure represents an important example of Armenian Protestant religious heritage in eastern Turkey, featuring traditional ecclesiastical design patterns.

Located in the central area of Elâzığ, the ruins can be reached by following the main road through Rızaiye neighborhood.

The building underwent several transformations, including periods as a powder factory, public restroom, marketplace, and currently functions as an informal parking area.
