The Surp Gayane Church is a short walk past the main gate of the Holy See from the town’s main square. St Gayane was the prioress of the 32 virtuous maidens who accompanied St Hripsime to Armenia. The original 6th-century chapel over her grave was rebuilt into a church in 1630. It’s a fine orange-toned building with a plain interior and some fine khatchkars scattered about.
