The most important temple in Armenia was erected in the early 2000s in honor of the 1700th anniversary of the adoption of Christianity. The ensemble consists of three buildings: the church of St. Queen Ashkhen, the church of St. Tiridates II and the cathedral itself, which can accommodate 1700 believers, which makes it the second largest Christian religious building in Transcaucasia.

Relics associated with Gregory the Illuminator are kept inside. The interior is modest. Its main decoration is a forged chandelier under a giant dome. Behind the cathedral is a beautiful green park.
