Armenian Church of Singapore
The Armenian Apostolic Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator is the first Christian church built in Singapore in 1835.
The vaulted ceiling and cupola are based on traditional Armenian Church architecture.
Within the quiet tropical garden surrounding the church lie tomb markings of Armenians who died in Singapore. The tombstones were transported here in the early 1970’s from the Bukit Timah Cemetery.
