The interiors of OsVank















Usually the domes of these 1000 year old churches are still intact because they are supported by 4 huge stone pillars. As for the rest, some of the roofs would have fallen leaving gaping holes in the ceiling. There are traces of frescoes left on some of the walls. The stone pillars are massive and beautiful. OsVank is very beautiful still even in the sad state it's in today. The village has grown around it and the people are friendly.
