Spitakavor Church of Ashtarak
The church of Spitakavor ((アルメニア語:Սպիտակավոր եկեղեցի); meaning "Apricotish" because of the color of the tufa used as a building material for the walls) is located at the edge of a gorge in the town of Ashtarak in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia. It may be seen across the gorge from the church of Surp Sarkis, but is easiest reached via the streets of the neighborhood that it sits within. Very close (down the street 3 houses) and also sitting along the gorge is the church of Spitakavor (literally meaning ''whitish'' because of its color), built between the 5th-6th centuries. (Note: Some confusion about the name of the churches of Spitakavor and Spitakavor has seemed to have occurred due to the misplacement of the Russian markers located inside the two structures. Anyone that lives in the city around the area will tell you that Spitakavor is the white church, and Spitakavor is the apricot colored church.) Nearby are also the churches of Karmravor, S. Mariane, and S. Sarkis. In the gorge is a unique bridge built in 1664.
==Legend==
According to a legend, three sisters lived in Ashtarak, all of whom fell in love with the same man, prince Sargis. The elder two sisters decided to commit suicide in favor of the youngest one. One wearing an apricot-orange dress and the other wearing a red dress, they threw themselves into the gorge. When the youngest sister found out, she put on a white dress and also threw herself into the gorge. Sargis then became a hermit and three small churches appeared at the edge of the gorge, named after the sisters' dress colors.
