ZVARTNOTS CATHEDRAL | HUJ3 | 2018-07-12 - 2018-07-25 | CULT, | Age: 18 - 28

 

Zvartnots was built in the middle of the 7th century. This architectural masterpiece is a monument which embodies the centuries-long traditions of Armenian architecture. Unfortunately, Zvartnots has survived only in ruins, as it was completely destroyed by a powerful earthquake in the 10th century. However, even the ruins of this temple give us the idea of its rare and majestic beauty.
