Abstract
The directory gives a detailed account of 23 churches surveyed in the counties of Salmas, Khoy and Urmia, chosen from the 29 visited from 2016 to 2018 because they still retain a recognizable architectural conformation that characterized them, although many of them are now in a state of ruin. For each of them, a sheet has been drawn up detailing the period of construction, the planimetric layout, the description and the state of conservation, defining the main problems but also the possibilities for reuse and enhancement. Where possible, the current state is compared with that found in the 1970s during the missions of Alpago Novello et al. (1976, Nice Vecchione, Consistenza e tipologia delle chiese armene in Iran. Rapporto della missione 1976, Ricerca sull’architettura Armena–Iran. Milano: Politecnico di Milano-Università Nazionale dell’Iran (1977)).
