It is a headquarters of the katholikos, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The town's name means "a descent of the only begotten". Today the town boasts with three important churches (the cathedral, church of St. Gayane, church of St. Hripsime) and two less important churches: Shoghakat and the church of Mother of God. Together with the archaelogical site of Zvartnots, Echmiadzin is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)

Despite periods of autonomy, over the centuries Armenia came under the sway of various empires including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman. .
