The symbol of the presence of a wealthy Armenian community in the city built in 1706 Armenian Church.

The temple courtyard is large enough, it is the Armenian cemetery. The temple and its yard is enclosed by a high wall, with the beautiful gate. Temple from the outside rather austere and not particularly good structure.

Thick walls, placed high window, above the entrance door there is a balcony. The main facade of the temple supported by its powerful buttresses that are in the lower part of the walls two metres. But the interior decoration of the Cathedral was famous for the splendor and wealth.

During the Communist regime the Church was as a warehouse. Now the Church is closed, grids on the Windows, shabby walls, roof collapses.
