Armenia, Sep 2009
Ejmiatsin is the spiritual centre of Armenia and the seat of the Catholicos of All Armenians, the head of the Holy Armenian Apostolic Church.
The church of St. Gayane, which is distinguished by its harmonious proportions. It was constructed in AD 630 in Etchmiadzin by Catholicos Ezra. The design remains unchanged despite partial enlargement in the 17th century with renovations to the dome and of some ceilings.
Erevan... city
Near to Dilijan :)
