Armenian Catholic Church

A little north of Farhat Square, the church was constructed in 1840 on a site formerly used for a house of the Qarʾali family.[1] In spite of its domestic origins it achieves a great feeling of space by using tall arches and a domed crossing to gain a sense of space. It also followed the pattern of seeking traditional Syrian inspiration for its architectural forms.

The church is reported to have suffered damage from mortar fire and/or secondary blast effects during the conflict in early 2015.
