Architecture of Armenia & Takeo Kamiya
JAPANESE         ITALIAN

"Architecture of Armenia" by Takeo Kamiya, Japanese architect ;
Since born in the greater area of Syria-Palestine, Christianity spread rapidly to neighboring areas despite being oppressed violently by the Roman Empire that ruled the Middle East. It was by the Edict of Milan of 313 A.D. that the Empire approved it officially, and it was in 350 that Theodosius I set it as the state religion. But it was the Kingdom of Armenia in the north of the Middle East that embrace it in 301 A.D. in the first place, half a century previously than Rome.

This website divides the Republic of Armenia into northern, western, central, and southern regions, and provides detailed information about the architecture of each area, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Additionally, chapters on "Neighboring Countries (Georgia, Turkey, Iran)" and "The Ruins of Ani" have been added, bringing the total number of place names to 160, so a "Place Name Index" has been created.
