Saint Hripsime Church
was founded in the 7th century by Catholicos Komitas I Aghtsetsi in the place of a sepulcher of Saint Hripsime. Since 2000 Saint Hripsime Temple has been included in UNESCO World Heritage List.
Etchmiadzin mother cathedral
Originally founded on the site of a vision where St. Gregory saw Christ descend to strike the ground with a golden hammer, the name "Etchmiadzin" translates to "the descent of the Only-Begotten". The current structure is a 4th-century foundation, heavily restored and expanded in the 17th century with a distinctive 3-tiered bell tower and frescoed interior.
It is considered the "Vatican" of the Armenian Church and a primary pilgrimage site.
The Cathedral houses sacred relics, including the Holy Lance (Geghard), the Right Hand of St. Gregory the Illuminator, and pieces of Noah's Ark.
Saint Gayaneh church
was built in honor of St. Gayane in the VII century on the place of IV century chapel, which is one of the best monuments of Armenian architecture. The relics of Saint Gayane are kept in the southern wall of the temple, next to the altar niche.
Zvartnots temple
Тhe magnificent Zvartnots Temple, which mean “Temple of Vigil Forces”, was built in the VII century. The temple was built for 20 years. Unfortunately, Zvartnots was destroyed by a powerful earthquake in the XX century and only its ruins remained. But even the ruins of this temple give us an idea of its rare and majestic beauty.
