Historical Introduction
11 — 12 cc․

There exist no historical records relating to this sanctuary; nor is there any information regarding the time of its construction—perhaps, it traces back to the period between the 11th and 12th centuries.

Karapetian, Samvel. Ani 1050, Yerevan, 2011, p. 163.

Architectural Description

It represents a central-domed building with a vestry on either side of the chancel, and two triangular niches at least in its eastern and southern facades.

Karapetian, Samvel. Ani 1050, Yerevan, 2011, p. 163.

Exterior dimensions: 17.1 x 13.7 metres.
