Изящный облик, гармоничные пропорции всего здания и его частей, сдержанный декор с выразительным рисунком орнаментов - все это выделяет Кармравор среди других малых крестообразных памятников армянской архитектуры раннего средневековья.

Karmravor Church was built in the mid-7th century, in the town of Ashtarak. The transition form of square sub-dome space to the basis of the octahedral drum of the church’s dome is supported by four principal squinches. Traces of wall ornamentation show through its whitewashed walls. An ancient tiled spherical roof remains intact.
Type: Small Cruciform Central-Plan
Karmaravor is a very small domed church measuring 19 feet 7 inches by 24 feet 6 inches. This church belongs to a series of small churches built as free crosses. It has a horseshoe east apse which is rectangular on the exterior. The other three arms or bays are rectangular both inside and in their exterior. There are four squinches above the central square that complete the octagon of the drum and eight small squinches are used betwween the drum and cupola. Karmravor is simply decorated with geometric motifs (braids, zigzags of semicircles) and foliages. The cornices are of basket-weave sculptering and the dome eaves are decoraed with leaf design. Entrance to the church is from the west.
Other churches of similar type attributed to the 6th or 7th century are St. Mariane of Artik, Lmbatavank', St. Astwacacin of T'alin, and Voskedar.}}
