Description:
The Church of St. Karapet in Rostov-on-Don was built in 1875 according to the project of the famous architect V.V. Sazonov. The construction was completed after 5 years, and on July 11, 1881 the church was consecrated. Money for the construction of the temple was received from the famous patron A.P. Aladjalyan.
The design of the church is made in the Armenian traditions of that time. The architecture of the temple is based on a combination of cross-domed and basilic forms. The three entrances to the temple are located on the north, south and west sides. The interior of the premises is characterized by a characteristic simplicity of execution.
The church is located on the territory of a large memorial complex, next to the cemetery, where prominent Armenian figures are buried, as well as mass graves of soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War.
