RUINS OF AMENAPRKICH SURB YEGIA TEMPLE THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT CULTURAL MONUMENTS IN THE CRIMEA, BUT THE AMENAPRKICH TEMPLE SURB YEGIA IN THE VILLAGE OF BOGATOE IS UNIQUE AND HAS NO ANALOGUES, AS IT IS A COMBINATION OF THREE CULTURES AT ONCE. TYPICAL OF MUSLIM ARCHITECTURE, THE STALACTITES AND STALAGMITES ARE CARVED FROM STONE AND DECORATED WITH NICHES IN THE PYLONS OF THE PORTALS AND OTHER DETAILS OF THE TEMPLE. INSIDE, THE PRESERVED GOTHIC CROSS VAULT OF THE NAVES, TYPICAL OF ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE, IS A MARVEL, AS IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE APSE OF THE CHURCH. IT DOES NOT PROTRUDE OUTWARDS, BUT IS CLOSED

BY THE RECTANGULAR EASTERN PART OF THE BUILDING, LEAVING A PASSAGE BETWEEN THE ROUNDING OF THE APSE AND THE EASTERN WALL. AMENAPRKICH ARE CALLED MONUMENTS OF ARMENIAN MEDIEVAL CULTURE WITH THE IMAGE OF THE CRUCIFIXION. THERE WAS A TWO-METRE HIGH BAS-RELIEF OF THE CRUCIFIXION IN A NICHE ON THE EASTERN WALL OF THE BUILDING. THE RUINS OF THE TEMPLE WERE ONCE PART OF THE MONASTERY COMPLEX, WHICH SCHOLARS DATE TO THE X-XIV CENTURIES.
