A church on Akdamar Island on Lake Van in eastern Turkey. It was built by Architect Manuel in 915-921 on the orders of King Gagik I to house a part of the True Cross, which is said to have been brought to the Van region in the 7th century after being smuggled from Jerusalem to Iran. The church, which was founded in the south east of the island, is considered among the most brilliant works of medieval Armenian art architecturally. Built of red andesite stone, the exterior of the church is adorned with rich plant and animal motifs rendered in the form of low relief and scenes from the Bible. With this feature, the church has a unique position in armenian architectural history.
