Forty Martyrs Armenian Cathedral
Aleppo · Jdeydeh · Armenian Apostolic
A brief history
The Forty Martyrs Armenian Cathedral is a fifteenth-century Armenian Apostolic church in Jdeydeh, the old Christian quarter of Aleppo. It is significant among Armenian churches as one of the oldest that remained in active use.
An interesting detail
Jdeydeh grew up outside the old walls as a quarter of Christian craftsmen and merchants, and the cathedral sits at its heart.
