Patara Alaverdi (Georgian: პატარა ალავერდი; Minor Alaverdi) is a Georgian Orthodox Church located in Qakh District, northwestern Azerbaijan, on the border with Georgia. Patara Alaverdi is a domed church erected on the site of an old basilica with the contribution of the local community in 1888.[1] Tradition has it that Minor Alaverdi is "a brother to Alaverdi Monastery of Kakheti". At present, the dome is damaged and in need of restoration.
