TEŁERVANK'
/ Xlllth century
This
large structure stands on the southeastern slope of Mt. Aragats near
the abandoned village of Diğir. It is composed of a church and a
gavit. The church belongs to the usual type of longitudinal domed hall
having four corner chapels with apses. The large gavit is characterized
by two chapels with bell towers at the front. These campaniles set on
the roof like façade towers are reminiscent of the triumphal arch at
Ani-Horomots'. Thanks to the height of their drums and roofs they reach
nearly to the height of the church. This complex was restored recently
and has regained its originai form.
