Sourb Vardan Zoravar Church 1869 — 1870 yy․

Georgia / Javakhk / Akhalkalak / Diliv

Description
1869 — 1870 yy․

The first church of Diliv, which was dedicated to St. Gevorg, is mentioned in a spate of archive documents until the year 1869. It was thoroughly reconstructed into a new sanctuary which is referred to by the name of Sourb Vardan Zoravar, i.e. St. Vardan the War-Lord, beginning with 1870; therefore, we can conclude that the latter was erected between 1869 and 1870. The western facade of this sanctuary is finely-finished, while its other parts are of undressed stone.
