Garni tempel

Garni tempel (armeenia: Գառնիի հեթանոսական տաճար) on teisest sajandist pKr pärinev hellenistlik tempel Armeenias, Garni linna lähedal.^[1]^[2]^[3]

See on ainus mittekristlik tempel Armeenias, mis on üle elanud ristiusustamise.^[4]^[5]

Erinevalt teistest Kreeka-Rooma templitest on see tehtud basaldist.

Erinevad kirjalikud ülestähendused ja märked vanadel müntidel viitavad selle templi ehitusaja alguseks 115 pKr. Samas on välja käidud ka teisi võimalikke ehitusaegu.

1386. aastal rüüstasid templit Timuri väed. 1679 kannatas ehitis tugevalt maavärinas ja seisis sealt alates rusudes. Tempel taastati 1969–1975.

Arvatavalt püstitati see zoroastristlikule jumalusele Mihrile.
