Saint Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church in Gyumri<\/a><\/span><\/strong> was consecrated in 1886 by Archbishop Poghos of the Greek-Russian Orthodox Church of Georgia. Locals call it \u201cPlplan Jam<\/strong>\u201d, meaning \u201cthe shining church,<\/strong>\u201d because of its gleaming silver cupola that reflects the sunlight.<\/p>\n\n

The church was built from local black stone called tuff and stands on the «Hill of Honor» (Patvo Blur) \u2014 a site that once served as a Russian military cemetery for soldiers who fell in battles against the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n\n

Within the church grounds, there is a monument dedicated to those who died during the capture of the fortress in Kars in 1877. (Kars, a historically Armenian city, became part of the Ottoman Empire after the Russo-Turkish War and was later recognized as a part of modern-day Turkey by the USSR.) The monument is a replica of the original, which was first erected in Kars in 1910.<\/p>\n\n

After the Soviet regime was established in 1920, the chapel was closed, like many other religious buildings of the time. In the 1980s, it was reopened \u2014 this time as a Museum of Armenian-Russian Friendship. <\/p>\n\n

Unfortunately, the 1988 Spitak earthquake severely damaged the structure, and most of the exhibits were lost.<\/p>\n\n

In 1997, the restored clock tower and building were reopened once again \u2014 this time as a functioning Russian Orthodox Church dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel.<\/p>\n\n
