The cathedral of Zvartnots was built by order of the Catholicos Nerses III between the years 641 and 662. It was damaged by an earthquake in the 10th century and unearthed nearly a thousand years later in 1900-1907, near the town of Echmiadzin.

 

In 2000 the site was placed on the Unesco world heritage list.
