Armenia's Classical Architecture is a stunning review of one of the world's great architectural traditions. With a combination of succinct, rich essays, hundreds of informative captions, and thousands of beautiful photographs, Gfoeller and Klein offer their readers an entrancing survey of over a thousand years of artistic and intellectual heritage.
