Near the remains of an oil press , is the Church of the Redeemer (Church of St Prkitch, 1034–36) . Half the structure was destroyed by lightning in 1957. The church was supposedly built to house a portion of the True Cross, brought here from Constantinople; the facade's Armenian inscriptions relay the history. The facade also sports a superb khatchkar (cross stone) designed on an elaborate rectangular background, about 3m above ground around the building from the path.
