A magnificent monastery lost in the Lori Mountains. Frescoes that are very rare in Armenian architecture, preserved in color (I saw this only in Ani). Stunning nature and surroundings. Definitely for a visit.

A beautiful monastery in a beautiful place is a must-visit. One of the most well-groomed territories among the mountain monasteries. The road to the monastery is convenient, you can drive by any car.
A minus star for my grandfather, who found a reflective vest somewhere and now walks around collecting 200 drams from the car for parking after the fact. There are no signs about the cost of parking, as well as that it is paid. If you say that you will not pay, you will quickly get rid of it.

A unique medieval monument on the Armenian territory, near the border with Georgia. Historically, Armenian churches do not have frescoes, but this temple has murals inside. It is located in a mountainous area, like Haghpat. The current temple. The recent flood cut off the road to Akhtala, we will keep hoping that the historical monument and people will not suffer

The painting of the monastery was done in the 13th century during the reign of Queen Tamara.
S. Parajanov shot two episodes here for his film "The Color of Pomegranate".

An interesting place . The monastery was built by Armenians and Georgians, so the architecture is a mixture of traditional styles.
