Kanach Zham Church

The Green Chapel of Shusha, a damaged Armenian church that speaks to the city’s layered and contested heritage.

Kanach Zham, often translated as the Green Chapel, is one of Shusha's Armenian church landmarks. Its damaged condition and contested setting make it a sensitive site, but also an important one for understanding the city's religious and cultural layers.

Visitors should approach it with care and current local guidance. As a POI, its value is historical and contextual rather than recreational, especially alongside Shusha's larger cathedral and fortress landscape.
