Izmir Armenian Church

Stone, brick, wood and iron were used as building materials. The walls were built with stone. Bricks were placed between the stones to form horizontal rows. But this knit is not very regular for everyone. In most areas, masonry work where flat land stones are only stacked is monitored.

The same style of craftsmanship in the late 18th-19th. During the 18th century, it is possible to see it widely in Western Anatolian structures. Naos is covered with a barrel vault inside. The vaulting material is brick. The church is plastered inside and out. It appears that the thick plaster is joined into the tow. It has been found that the interior of the building has been sprayed and painted at least three times after different uses for a long time.

Plan Features

The church has not reached its present day with its original dimensions. The walls in both east and west direction are lost. Most probably, during the period when the cinema functioned, the western wall was demolished and the area was stretched to the west and the cinema scene was added. In the east, the apse façade was demolished and extended to the east and ended with a flat wall. The original dimensions of the church are: 8.20 meters from the outside, 8.8 meters from the width and 9.50 meters from the height. Remaining traces suggest that there is no narthex in the west. Today, the structure is disconnected from the street in four directions. In the phase of conversion of the building, whose walls were lost in the east and west direction, to the cinema, the facades of the north and south direction were also extended within the reinforced concrete walls.
