Architectural Description

The church of Ghazanchi used to represent a uni-nave vaulted structure with a semi-circular apse in the east (exterior dimensions: 7.42 x 4.97 metres). At present its surviving vestiges comprise only the meagre remnants of the part adjoining the apse. The construction peculiarities of the church, which was built of undressed stone and mortar, trace it back to the 16th to 17th centuries.
