A unique place of power! The oldest Christian church stands on the spot indicated by Christ himself, its cruciform architecture impresses with its laconic power. And to see the legendary "Spear of Longinus" is unforgettable and very exciting. A must-visit in Armenia!

A large, beautiful and spacious temple. The interior is richly decorated with national ornaments, which is unusual for an Armenian church. There are many so-called icons. The plots are not always traditionally biblical. No photos are allowed inside.

A beautiful temple, peaceful. Beautifully painted, lots of paintings with biblical events. There are antique cutouts in the stones in the form of crosses on the walls. There is no iconostasis here, which is familiar as in the Russian Orthodox Church, and there are also no places to install candles. And there is no smell of incense. Patient attitude towards tourists.
