This exquisite chapel, built in the town of Ashtarak, is one of the rare monuments of the 7th century that have remained almost intact; even the tiled roof is preserved. The plan is that of a building laid out in the shape of a cross. Its east wing encloses a semi-circular high alter. [Source: Monuments of Armenia]
