St. Gevorg Church

Georgia / Javakhk / Akhalkalak / Pokr Gyondura

Description
1850 y․

Beginning with the 1850s, different archive documents repeatedly make mention of St. Gevorg Church of Pokr Gyondura, which is referred to by the name of Sourb Ghevondiats from 1869 onwards. This suggests that between 1868 and 1869, the monument underwent renovation and re-consecration, as a result of which, it changed its name. It is built of mortar and finely-finished stone in its western facade, and of undressed stone in the other ones. Its western pediment is surmounted by a four-pillar belfry ending in a pointed broach.
