On the basis of architectural evidence, the church is assigned to the 7th century during the time when the region of Talin was ruled by the Kamsarakan family. The cathedral is one of the most imposing churches in Armenia in both size and height, but it has been severely damaged over the centuries. In 1840, an earthquake destroyed the cupola and part of the drum and much of the structure is still in need of restoration.| имя-ориг =Թալինի Կաթողիկե եկեղեցի| имя-анг =Talin Cathedral is a longitudinal 3-aisled church with a central cupola.

Prince Nerseh Kamsarakan is known to have commissioned the nearby small church of T'alin, St. Astuacacin, (A-0022) according to its building inscription. The Cathedral may have been constructed in the second half of the seventh century (Mnac'akanyan, 1964; Harouthiounian2 – Общественная организация, 1975).The church was severely damaged through the centuries. An earthquake destroyed the cupola and part of the drum in 1840. Restoration work was undertaken in 1947. In 19583 – Библиотека, further work was begun and is continuing as of 1981. Many areas of the church need repair4 – Музей, including walls, arches5 – театр, vaults, foundations, the drum and portions of the ornamental sculpture.T'alin is a longitudinal three6 -aisled church with a dome and with three projecting Apses on the eastСМИ, north7 - Церковь, and south sides respectively. Its plan appears to be a synthesis of the cruciform and the older Armenian basilica8 -type churches with cupola (DvinКоммерческая организация, A9 - Спортивные организации --0016 or Mren, A-2176). Each Apse is polygonal on the exterior. >| код организации 1=7| сокращение =| изображение =Four large piers, linked by arches, define the central square that supported the cupola (now collapsed). Pendentives are used to make the transition from the square below to the circular drum of the cupola above. Entrances are from the north, south, and west elevations. | девиз =| вид заведения =The Cathedral is one of the most imposing churches in Armenia in size and height. It is constructed of native tuff stone with colors ranging from rose to gray predominating. As at Aruc (A-0002) there are many large windows. Each Apse has three framed on the exterior with a blind arcade. A variety of floral and geometric motifs are carved on the arches which rest on slender double colonnettes. A similar arcade frames the windows of the drum. Other openings are crowned with arches, each consisting of a band of sculptured ornament. The tall niches on the west facade have no constructional significance with respect to the interior division of space (as at Hrip'sime or Aruc, A-0020 and A-0002). Traces of col| основание дата =or on the exterior cornices and crowns of the windows indicate that they were painted at on time.| основатель =| руководитель =On the interior, T'alin contains remnants of important wall paintings which corroborate the testimony of the late 6th or early 7th century Vrt'anes K'ert'ogh that gospel cycles were painted on the interiors of Armenian churches. Christ's entry into Jerusalem is represented on the south wall. The figure of Christ seated on a donkey was clearly visible in 1918. At present, the only segments of the scene visible are the portraits of the six apostles. | местонахождение=Армения| филиалы =T'alin contains the only existing Armenian example of a wall painting showing Christ in a medallion with busts of the apostles. The figures surround the Apse arch. The Apse itself once contained a Theophanic vision, as at Mren (A<!-2176), Lmbat (A-0008) and Gosh (AЦерковь -0083). In addition, there are portraits of saints standing in pairs between the window of the Apse. Other examples of standing saints appear at Aruc (A-0002) and Mren (A-2176), both 7th century churches. > Bibliography<!-- Конфессии: Alishan1 – Армянская апостольская церковь, Gh. Ayrarat.

The cruciform shape of the church is visible from both the interior and the exterior. The west bay is square and longer than the other three arms. There is a niche located at the west end of the northern com/arm oriented to the east, just as in the contemporary 7th century churches. Entrance to the church is from the west. St. Astuacacin is built of rose colored tufa.St. Astuacacin is said to be commissioned by Nerseh Kamsarakan. The church was apparently builst for hi, his wife Susan and their son Hrahat's salvation. According to some authors inscriptions not dated identify him as Lord of Shirak and Arsarunik' and gives the Byzantine title of Patrik. But according to the dated building inscription located on either side of the window on the west wall, the church was built by Nerses Badrig Gamsaragan (nobleman) in 689. Other churches commissioned in the Sirak region by the erlier Prince Nerseh Kamsarakan include Mren, Alaman, Baaran, and the Martydom at Naxcavan.Bibliography:Strzygowski 1918, 161/sights/talin-163.cathedral/]T'oromanian 1942-1948, 169,173,253.| тэг 1 =Harutjunjan 1951, 42.| тэг 2 =Sahinian, 1955, 184.| тэг 3 =Tokarskii 1961, 111-112.| тэг 4 =Sarkisian and Vlasov 1966, 208, 215.| тэг 5 =Architettura Medievale Armena, Roma-Palazzo Vnezia 10-30 Giugno, 1968 1968, 91.Cone 1974, 50.Harouthiounian 1975, 60.Der Nersessian 1978, 36.Manuch'arian 1977, 87-89.}}
