Hakkında
Hızlı bilgiler: The cathedral's main altar features a stunning fresco of the Virgin Mary that was painted by the Armenian artist Yeghishe Tadevosyan in the early 20th century. Its bell tower rises 50 meters high and offers panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape.
Öne çıkanlar: A hidden spiral staircase behind the altar leads to a small rooftop terrace where you can see the intricate carvings of saints up close. The cathedral houses a fragment of Noah's Ark gifted by the Etchmiadzin Cathedral, displayed in a small glass case near the entrance.
İçeriden ipuçları
- Bring a scarf or shawl to cover your shoulders, as the church requires modest dress for entry.
- Visit the small gift shop near the exit for hand-painted ceramic miniatures that cost half the price of downtown souvenir stalls.
- The best photo spot is from the garden across the street where the full facade and three domes align perfectly.
- Join the 6 PM Saturday evening service even if you are not religious, the choir's Armenian liturgical chants are breathtaking.
