this Cathedral is simply amazing both in size and structure, got instant joy when entered this place the sheer size of it and both inside and outside structure is amazing and makes it more appealing that the candle burning place is outside , it is a must see love it.

Few years ago we had our church ceremony in this church. Priests are excellent and understood foreign pesa very well. Church choir is very good and regular church service is good. In wedding rush hour it is busy place.
Visited again in regular day to light some candles. Peaceful place. There is good view to church from other side of the gorge.
One of the best 'new' churches in Yerevan.

It was quick visit with a short guided tour. Very interesting and inspiring. Actually, if i remember correctly this saint Sarkis is equivalent of St. Valentine in West. when we visited there was a service inside, so not much seen inside though the view in front of the church is amazing

This is a totally new cathedral, so don't expect anything outstanding. The area around is not kept at all, there is a nice promenade towards the main entrance, but otherwise the church is surrounded by wastelands from all sides and faces a very busy dusty road with ugly architecture of the 90-s.
Nothing wrong with the building itself, it's worth a visit - both the exterior and the interior are interesting. Nothing special, but pleasant.

Attractive "traditional" cathedral of yerevan, with more colour and atmosphere than the newer one to the east of the city centre. There are other sights in this part of town too, overlooking the gorge, but the approach to this one only seems possible via a hideous set of underpasses (at least the direct route we took from the centre). That said there are some good stores nearby where you can buy presents (particularly food and drink) at a fraction of the prices elsewhere.

It seems that the Cathedral stands directly above the gorge through which the river Hrazdan flows. In fact, it is separated from the edge of a narrow street, but to understand this, you need to come closer. It has a peculiar architecture and a separate bell tower. It looks especially good from the opposite bank of the river.

The Church is beautiful and there are many interesting icons.
It is also cooler than some other churches during the summer.
Worth a visit.

Sarkis is the Armenian version of St Valentine
This is a very beautiful church, overlooking the Hrazdan gorge.
Great view of the gorge and on a clear day, mount Ararat.
