Armenian Quarter

The Armerian Quarter is one of the four quarters in the Old City of Jerusalem. It might appear that the Armenian quarter might have been part of the Christian Quarter since all Armenians residing in Jerusalem are Christians, yet for historical reasons the Armenian quarter has remained separate and has not suffered the same disruptions as the other quarters over the last one thousand years. Although the smallest of the four quarters, with fewer residents, the Armenians and their patriarchate remain staunchly independent and present a vigorous presence in the Old City of Jerusalem. The story of the Armenian quarter, its growth and decline, its assets and community is one often overlooked in studies of Jerusalem.
