A beautiful 13th century monastery in a picturesque location. The oldest church here was built back in the 9th-10th centuries. Interesting bas-reliefs and tombs, and the history of the monastery is interesting. Look into the well and see the achkars.

This monastery complex, coupled with the surrounding landscapes, struck me the most in Armenia! Required to visit! It's very beautiful! It is surrounded by red rocks, which makes it impossible to take your eyes off and stop taking pictures!
The history of the temple is also rich, the bas-relief with the Virgin Mary sitting on a carpet (Muslim) is interesting - this is a trick of the Armenians so that the Muslim nomadic tribes who made endless raids did not destroy the temple! A very interesting fact!
