Beautiful church and nice history lesson with our tour guide of Hyur Service. The little chapel with roses and the supposed rocks used to stone her to death is worth a look.

Built on a pagan temple. The church is under construction and temple columns are covered. A Hellenistic temple, similar to the Temple of Garni and dedicated to a pagan goddess, stood in the place of the church. During excavations in 1958 the foundation of a monumental stone building with Hellenistic ornaments was found under the supporting column.
The church is a classic. We enjoyed the experience

Despite it being better than the building site that the main cathedral represents, which is the main cathedral, it is still quite ordinary. There was a very interesting service taking place when we visited around midday on a Sunday. There were a number of chanting blue-robed priests and beautiful singing from the female choir. The choir and many of the participants did not have head cover. The history of its founding is interesting.

Been here last January 5, 2018, 1st day tour of our last tour in Yerevan.
The place is too many to tell stories.
Again, too many tourists like me amazed by the architectural design of the church.
Be informed that it is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you are now in Armenia, be there to see it for yourself
By the way, there is a souvenir shop.

It is not just another church that you can pass by in Armenia but a beautiful one amongst the lot. It was a rainy day during our visit which added more beauty to the church. As we did not visit with a guide (poor me), I did not had chance to know more about the temple. But it was promising to be very old and historic. The choir was going on inside the church which was so soothing. A photography with a good camera will be one of the top pictures on one's personal collection.

This is one of the oldest churches in existence, and it accents the rich religious heritage of Christianity in Armenia. If this is what interests you, then any visitor to Armenia shouldn’t miss coming here to see this iconic church.

Very beautiful church dating back to the 7th Century, dedicated to the Saint Hripsime and hosting her human remains. A beautiful combined stop when visiting the seat of the head of the Armenian Orthodox church at Etchmiadzin in Vagharshapat.

Went in the morning of March 2024 and there were white flowers all around. The complex is nice and has a beautiful garden.

The nearest Church to Yerevan is located on the outskirts of Echmiadzin. Simple, strict and very soulful. Here you can just stand both inside and in the courtyard. Instead of luxury, stone is everywhere, which makes the Church unique

Lucky enough to be there where a service was on and a female soloist with a male choir had the most melodic voices. Created such a wonderful atmosphere. On the other hand we were unable to go and see the crypt. Cannot have everything in life! Beautiful dome within the church.
