Description
The fourth-fifth century basilica of Yererouk, which is built on a rocky knoll pierced by caves, is one of the earliest Christian monuments in Armenia. Following an earthquake in the seventeenth century, the church survives as a substantial ruin surrounded by the archaeological remains of monastic and secular buildings.
