Surb Arakelots (“Holy Apostles”) has a cruciform floor plan with an octagonal tambour over the center, in traditional Armenian church architecture. On the drum sits a conical dome with conical trumpets, designed on the outside in the form of a prism with an octagonal tower pyramid. The interior of the church is rectangular on the west side, while the three other arms of the cross form semicircular apses. Is the first church built.
