The temple is a domed single-[nave](/source/Nave) [basilica](/source/Basilica) type completed in the 6th or 7th century. Presently, the only surviving parts of the temple are most of the north wall, part of the south wall with one of the four impost [arches](/source/Arch) of the [dome](/source/Dome), and some traces of the vaulting. The [cupola](/source/Cupola) and ceiling [vaults](/source/Vault_(architecture)), [drum](/source/Tholobate), and dome have since collapsed. The church is noteworthy for its relief sculpture. Around the window casings, vegetal and geometric patterns may be found. Some restoration work had been done to the church in 1940. ## Gallery - An aerial view - The church's ruins and its surrounding - Another angle. - Ptghnavank monastery, general view - Ptghnavank monastery, south side - Ptghnavank monastery, arch - Ptghnavank monastery, arch - Ptghnavank monastery, arch - Ptghnavank monastery - Ptghnavank monastery, decor - Ptghnavank monastery, decor - Ptghnavank monastery, decor ## References - Kiesling, Brady (2005), *Rediscovering Armenia: Guide*, [Yerevan, Armenia](/source/Yerevan%2C_Armenia): Matit Graphic Design Studio ## External links Wikimedia Commons has media related to [Ptghnavank](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ptghnavank). - [Armenian Architectural Studies](https://web.archive.org/web/20090908205317/http://armenianstudies.csufresno.edu/iaa_architecture/) - [Armeniapedia.org: Ptghavank](http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.php?title=Ptghni_Church) - [Armenica.org: Ptghni Church](http://www.armenica.org/cgi-bin/armenica.cgi?271565318646938=2=ba=1====baz0029===/) v t e Ancient, medieval, and historical Armenian churches and monasteries Armenia Aragatsotn: Arshakid Mausoleum · Artavazik · Aruchavank · Astvatsankal · Byurakan · Garnahovit · Hovhannavank · Karbi · Karmravor · Kasagh · Kosh · Kristapori Vank · Mastara · Oshakan (St. Mesrop, Tukh Manuk) · Saghmosavank · Mughni · Talin · Tegher · Ushi · Vahramashen · Voskevaz · Yeghipatrush · Zarinja Ararat: Aghjots Vank · Dvin · Khor Virap Armavir: Targmanchats Vank · Vagharshapat (Etchmiadzin, St. Gayane, St. Hripsime, St. Mary, Shoghakat, Zvartnots) Gegharkunik: Ddmashen · Hayravank · Kotavank · Makenyats Vank · Noratus (Cemetery, St. George) · Sevanavank · Tsovinar · Vanevan · Yot Verk Kotayk: Geghard · Gharghavank · Havuts Tar · Kecharis · Makravank · Mashtots Hayrapet · Mayravank · Neghutsi Vank · Ptghavank · Tejharuyk · Yeghvard (St. Mary) Lori: Akhtala · Bardzrakash · Haghpat · Hnevank · Horomayri · Khuchap · Kobayr · Odzun · Sanahin · Sverdlov · Vanadzor (St. Mary) Shirak: Gyumri (St. Mary, Holy Saviour) · Harichavank · Lmbatavank · Marmashen · Pemzashen · Yererouk Syunik: Bgheno-Noravank · Tatev (Monastery, Tatevi Anapat) · Vahanavank · Vorotnavank Tavush: Goshavank · Haghartsin · Jukhtak Vank · Kirants · Makaravank · Matosavank · Samsonavank · Tsrviz · Voskepar Vayots Dzor: Areni · Gndevank · Noravank · Spitakavor · Tanahat · Tsakhats Kar Yerevan: · Avan (Tsiranavor) · Kanaker (St. James) · Center (Gethsemane, Katoghike, St. Gregory, St. John, St. Paul and Peter, Zoravor) Azerbaijan (List) Agulis (St. Thomas) Amaras Aprakunis Baku (St. Gregory, St. Mary, St. Thaddeus) Dadivank Gag Gandzasar Gtichavank Hakobavank Jugha (Holy Savour) Katarovank Kish Kusanats Anapat Shusha (Ghazanchetsots, Kanach Zham) Targmanchats Tsar Tsitsernavank Vankasar Yeghishe Arakyal Yerits Mankants Georgia (List) Tbilisi (Vank, Bethlehem, Chugureti, Ejmiatsnetsots, St. George, St. Gregory, Jigrasheni Avetyats, Kamoyants, Karapet, Karapi, Karmir Avetaran, Geghardavank, Mughni, Norashen, Holy Sign, St. Sarkis, St. Stephen, Zrkinyants) Tskhinvali Turkey (List) Adana (St. Mary) Agarak Aghperig Aghtamar Akner Bagnayr Akori Ani (Cathedral, Tigran Honents, Kizkale, Holy Apostles) Aparank Arakelots Vank Arapgir Arkakaghni Arter Bana Barthoghimevos Vank Constantinople (Galata, Kuzguncuk, Fatih, Kartal, Samatya, Taksim, Beyoğlu, Beyoğlu) Drazark Elazig Eskişehir Gaziantep Goms Hogots Horomos Ishkhan Kanzak Karapet Vank Karmravank Kars (Cathedral, St. Mary) Kes Khtzkonk Ktuts Marinos Vank Mren Mush (St. Marine, Holy Sign) Narekavank Por Sivrihisar Skanchelagordz Vank Smyrna Soradir Tekor Tigranakert Trebizond Varagavank Varzahan Yeghegnamor Yeghrdut Yerazgavors Iran (List) Thadei Vank Maghardavank Dzordzori Vank Hovi Darashamb Haftvan Khoy Mahlezan Tabriz (St. Mary, St. Sarkis, Mariam) Mujumbar Sohrol Sarnaq Nor Jugha (Vank, St. Mary, St. George, St. Stephen, St. John, St. Catherine, Bethlehem, St. Nicholas, St. Gregory, St. Sarkis, St. Minas, St. Nerses) Shiraz (St. Mary) Tehran (St. Thaddeus, St. George) Jerusalem (Palestine/Israel) Armenian Quarter Cathedral of St. James Church of St. Toros Church of the Holy Archangels Monastery of St. Saviour Chapel of St. Helena Rest of Asia Syria: Aleppo · Lebanon: Cathedral of Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator · India: Chennai · Calcutta · Chinsura · Saidabad · Bangladesh: Dhaka · Israel: St. Nicholas Monastery · Cyprus: Magar Vank · Notre Dame de Tyre · Ganchvor · Singapore: Saint Gregory the Illuminator Rest of Europe Crimea: Holy Cross · Yalta · Ukraine: Lviv (St. Mary) · Russia: Nor Nakhichevan (Holy Cross) · Sultan-Saly St. Petersburg (St. Catherine) · Romania: Zamca · Italy: San Lazzaro degli Armeni --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Ptghnavank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptghnavank) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptghnavank?action=history)).
