جزيرة آقدمر (بالهجرية: Akdamar Adası؛ بالإنگليزية: Akdamar Island)، وتُعهد أيضاً بإسم آغتمر (بالأرمينية: Աղթամար) أوآختمر (بالأرمينية: Ախթամար)، هي ثاني أكبر جزر أربع في بحيرة ڤان، في شرق هجريا. وتبلغ مساحتها نحو0.7 كم²، وتقع على بعد ثلاثة كم من شاطئ البحيرة. At the western end of the island a hard, grey, limestone cliff rises 80 m above the lake's level (1,912 m above sea level). The island declines to the east to a level site where a spring provides ample water. It is home to the 10th century Armenian Holy Cross Cathedral، التي كانت مقر كاثوليكوسية آغتمر الرسولية الأرمنية من 1116 حتى 1895.

التاريخ
During his reign, King Gagik I Artsruni (r. 908-943/944) of the Armenian Kingdom of Vaspurakan chose the island as one of his residences. He founded a settlement and erected a large square palace richly decorated with frescoes, built a dock noted for its complex hydrotechnical engineering, laid out streets, gardens, and orchards, and planted trees and designed areas of recreation for himself and his court. The only surviving structure from that period is the Palatine Cathedral of the Holy Cross (بالأرمينية: Սուրբ Խաչ եկեղեցի Surb Khach yekeġetsi). It was built of pink volcanic tuff by the architect-monk Manuel during the years 915-921, with an interior measuring 14.80m × 11.5m and the dome reaching 20.40m above ground. In later centuries, and until 1915, it formed part of a monastic complex, the ruins of which can still be seen to the south of the church.
