Title A name given to the resource Comparative Armenian Ecclesiastical Monuments Description An account of the resource This collection is not meant to be an exhaustive record of late antique ecclesiastical monuments in the contemporary territory of Armenia. Rather it is a personal (and as such almost certainly idiosyncratic) selection of Armenian ecclesiastical architecture that commentators have argued have been influenced by Syrian architecture or which has been linked to the development of Georgian architecture in some way. It must be underlined that these pictures were taken on a first fact-finding trip to see these buildings in reality, as opposed to reading about them and experiencing them only as floor plans or photographs. This area of research remains a new direction that the writer hopes to explore further at a future date, but any conclusions drawn in this section of the website are very much work-in-progress.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Holy Cross, Aparan Description An account of the resource Holy Cross Church also referred to as Kasagh Basilica is in the town of Aparan, Aragatsotn Province. The church dates to the fourth or fifth century and was restored in 1877, as well as having evidence of more recent renovation. The basilica sits on a two-step platform, so is like Yereruyk and Zvartnots in being placed on a raised base and there is a ruined apsed structure of unclear date to the north of the building suggesting that it may have been linked to a possible side chapel in the past. The apse is a protruding polygonal structure, which is relatively unusual in early South Caucasian basilicas, which appear to most frequently terminate in a flat east end. The decoration above the windows on the south side and also in the apse is of the linear type seen at Yereruyk and also above the south entrance of the church at Tsilkani in Georgia. This Armenian variant is in some ways close to Syrian decorative motifs found on the northwest Limestone Massif, but deviates by only being present directly above and to the side of the windows, whereas in Syria they usually follow in a ribbon along the entire church exterior - see for example the entries on this site for Qalb Lozeh and Qal'at Sem'an.
