St. Sargis church
Comment are off
The St. Sargis Church was built in 1450. Standing upon the upper part of Dzoragyugh and facing the old Yerevan Fortress on the left bank of the River Hrazdan, a desert-monastery functioned there since the earliest Christian era. St. Sargis Church, together with the desert-monastery, was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1679 but was rebuilt on the same site during the reign of Catholicos Edesatsi Nahabet (1691-1705). The present St. Sargis Church was rebuilt once again during the period 1835-1842. In 2000 a new gavit was added.
