  • Armenian Architecture, Churches and Monasteries

    Greetings!

    We have now opened a new section containing a collection of Armenian
    Church and Monastery complexes:



    At the moment it contains 12 objects, but we are adding more objects as we go on.

    I hope you will find the new additions interesting.
    With best regards,

    Some notes for the unwary should be made if the so-called 12th century church is actually 90% from the 20th century. Such as at Hovhannavank.

      Interesting. Would you be kind to elaborate? It will be highly interesting as ever to hear your side of the story.

        Why is Noravank still in ruins, it was fully renovated several years ago?

          ?? Are you referring to the images online or of your own experience? The video clips we have online for Noravank are 10 days old, and I can't see that the monastery is in ruins, but as you say quite newly renovated.

            Some color photos of Echmiadzin would be nice. Maybe the Vaskenian Seminary as well.

              More updates are on their way and Etchmiadzin photos is among the ones in the pipe in August.

                Yes, as you say 'quite newly renovated'. The fact that this site, and zwartnots, are still on the list of UNESCO monuments just testifies to the utter lack of concern that UNESCO has for Armenian art. (Also displayed over the fate of the Julfa graveyard). The vandalism at Noravank (or, as you call it, the 'renovation') breaks every rule on the treatment of monuments that those on the UNESCO list should follow.

                  Armenica, I was in Tbilisi, Georgia two months ago...your churches look so much like Georgian churches and monasteries, and I honestly have a hard time telling them apart.
