Let's step back an additional 800 years from St. Astvatsatsin of Yeghvard and take a 5 minute walk to visit the 5th-6th century Yeghvard Katoghike Basilica. Not much remains of the basilica, but we know that it was a large three-nave basilica built during the 5th and 6th centuries under the rule of the Amatuni Armenian noble dynasty.
