UNESCO World Heritage
The church is abutted to the west by the narthex, with an interesting internal composition, added in the second decade of the 13th century. The narthex is an exceptional example of Armenian medieval architecture. The crossing arches supported by two columns carry the roof-vault, illuminating the interior of the building.
