Due to the absence of historical data, the time span between the fourth century BC and the third century AD is known as the "Yerevan Dark Ages."
Armenia became a Christian nation in 301. The first church in Yerevan; the church of St. Peter and Paul, was built in the fifth century, and was demolished in 1931 to build a cinema hall. The Tsiranavor Surb Hovhannes Church of Avan (595–602) of Avan district which was partly damaged in the 1679 earthquake, is the city's oldest surviving church.
