Zvartnots is the oldest and largest aisled tetraconch church in historical [Armenia](https://www.worldhistory.org/armenia/). It was built in the middle of the 7th century CE, under the instructions of the Catholicos Nerses III (r. 641-661 CE). It was partially reconstructed in 1905 CE - based on the research of the Armenian architectural historian Toros Toramanian (1864-1934 CE) - and Zvartnots’ ruins can be visited today. This image was scanned from Medieval Armenian [Architecture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/architecture/): Constructions of Race and Nation by Christina Maranci. The sketch was drawn by Toros Toramanian and first published in the 1918 book Die Baukunst der Armenier und [Europa](https://www.worldhistory.org/Europa/) by Josef Strzygowski.
