Surp
Krikor Lusarovic Armenian Orthodox Church
|
It is the oldest Armenian
church in
Istanbul. It was written
in a manuscript that there
was a church there in the
name of Surp Sarkis in 1360.
It was rebuilt in 1431.
Since it was fell down in
1958, architect Bedros
Zabyan built a new one. It
is one of the churches which
was built during Turkish
Republic period. Its conical
dome differs it from other
Armenian churches. In the
crypt there are some nice
tiles deriving from the
previous church on the site. |
