Horomayri Monastery, Medieval monastery near Debed Gorge, Armenia
The monastery consists of structures positioned on different cliff levels, featuring a three-chambered chapel at the upper section and additional buildings below.
St Mark's Church within the monastery complex was constructed in 1187 by Princes Zakare and Ivane Mkhargrdzeli, with additional structures added by Abbot Samuel in 1206.
The monastery complex contains numerous Armenian architectural elements, including carved khachkars, religious caves, and intricate stone decorations representing medieval Armenian craftsmanship.
Visitors can reach the monastery through a 1.5-kilometer hiking trail from Odzun village, with the path descending along steep cliffs toward the Debed River.
The lower section of the monastery mirrors the architectural layout of St. Virgin church at Bardzrakash St. Gregory convent due to the restricted cliff terrain.
