Aghat'amar (English spelling)
A small island on Lake Van in eastern Turkey. Surb Hacchi (Holy Cross) Church, built in the early 10th century, remains. The church was built by King Gagik (reigned 908-936) of the Arzurunid dynasty, who ruled the Basprakan region of the Kingdom of Armenia. With a dome in the center of a quatrefoil plan, and high niches and exedras supporting a tambour, it is one of the masterpieces of Armenian architecture (Armenian art) of this period. The entire exterior wall is richly decorated with reliefs depicting scenes from the Old Testament and the Life of Christ, as well as images of donors, making it a valuable structure unparalleled in the 10th century.
