SURP KRIKOR LUSAROVIC ARMENIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH (SURP KRİKOR LUSAROVİÇ ERMENİ ORTODOKS KİLİSESİ)
It is the oldest Armenian church in Istanbul. It was written in a manuscript that there exists a church in the name of Surp Sarkis in 1360. It was reconstructed in 1431. Because 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. © Copyright by AboutTurkey.com
