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 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".
