ÉGLISE ARMÉNIENNE SOURP NCHAN

At the top of the hill that stands on the right when rue Kostava is mounted. It has an impressive silhouette, with cupola and its four small adjoining square bell towers. It is one of the most beautiful Armenian churches of Georgia (architectural style different from the Armenian churches in Tbilissi, closer to constructions of Armenia). It is also, outside the two churches of Tbilissi and Djavakhétie, the unique Armenian church which was given to the community in 1990 and used for the service. Around the church old Armenian tombs are. The interior is dark and austere; from the square, there is a magnificent view of Akhaltsikhé and the surrounding mountains.
