This beautiful, tall belltower, hidden behind modern buildings near Carrefour is all that remains of the 14th century Vank Armenian Monastery, which had the largest church in Tbilisi until 1938 when it was torn down by the government. Somehow the belltower survived and pops up above the residential buildings at 3 Atoneli Street.
The Church of the Holy Mother of God of the Mens Monastery, also known as Pashavank was an Armenian Apostolic church in the city of Tbilisi located on the right bank of the Kura River. It was destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1938.

Constructed began at the time of king Dachi Ujarmeli in the 6th century. This is the oldest church in town. Anchiskhati Basilica is a three-span basilica, divided by two abutments forming horseshoe shaped conches, which indicates the antiquity of its construction. Originally constructed of blocks of yellow tuff stone, the 1958–1964 restoration made extensive use of brick. The structure has entrances on three sides, but today only the western entrance is in use. Aside from the altarpiece, which was painted in 1683 by order of Catholicos Nikoloz Amilakhvari, all of the remaining paintings in the church date from the 19th century.
