15 c․

A medieval Armenian graveyard, once extending south of the church of St. Matthew the Evangelist, was later almost totally reduced to the ground due to the construction of residential buildings in its immediate neighbourhood.83 An intact khachkar and several broken ones whose composition peculiarities trace them back to the 15th century can be found in a private plot of land within the site of this cemetery.
