History

The church was founded in the 12th century and was renovated in the mid-17th century. [2] [3]

Architecture

One of the most striking architectural features of the church was its cruciform basilican plan and high-domed cupola. The interior consisted of a nave with two aisles, large apse, and two vestries. Bands of relief sculpture decorated the door. A pillared porch at the western facade was destroyed by an earthquake in 1841. Armenian inscriptions were placed in the interior, on the western facade, and on the exterior of the dome, while wall paintings added in the 1680s by the Armenian poet and painter, Naghash Hovnatan, adorned the dome. [2] [3]

Destruction

The church was destroyed at some point between 1997 and June 15, 2006, as documented by investigation of the Caucasus Heritage Watch. [1]
