Architecture

The church of S. Hovhannes is a large cruciform central plan interior and rectangular exterior plan type basilica. It is missing the drum and dome that once stood above. Two portals lead into the church. Much of the church is void of any decoration.

Renovation

The structure is currently (as of late 2009) being renovated and parts are being reconstructed.
