ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTS OF ARMENIA.THE CATHEDRAL OF ANI
Cathedral of Ani, the architectural monument
of the Middle Centuries, was built by architect Trdat in 989-1001. It was founded
by the order of the king Smbat II and ended with the patronize of the wife of
the king Gagik I the queen Katranide'. It was devoted to the Blessed Virgin.
By its high merits of art composition the Cathedral of Ani became one of the
architectural masterpieces of Armenia. Some European scientists think that the
volume composition of the interior elements and its proportionality (double-centered
arches, column groupings) had development in the late Gothic Architecture of
XII-XIV centuries.
