Armenian Church: The church, which is of basilical plan and located in the Eski Saray neighborhood of the center, was built of cut stone. The two columns in front of its door currently constitute the main elements of the porticoed courtyard, the spaces between them having been walled up with stones. The main entrance is on the west facade, the place for the inscription is empty, and its surroundings are in the form of a relief cross. There is one window on each narrow side and 4 windows on the long sides. At the end section, in the direction of the long axis, it is divided into three naves by two columns and three arches. The frescoes have been completely destroyed; their traces can only be seen inside the arches. The column capitals are also decorated with leaf motifs. Its hipped roof is also covered with basalt stone slabs. It has no inscription; because of its architectural resemblance to the church located a little higher up, it has been dated to the 19th century, and if the necessary restoration is carried out, it appears capable of saving the adjacent church from loneliness. The porticoes need to be opened and interior and exterior cleaning needs to be carried out.
