Khorakert, Medieval monastery on Lalvar Mountain slope in Jiliza, Armenia.

The monastery includes a main temple with a rectangular exterior and cross-winged domed interior, featuring small columns supporting arched structures.

The monastery complex was constructed during the mid-13th century, with inscriptions on the west walls confirming its construction date and historical significance.

The temple structure exhibits traditional Armenian architectural elements, including sculptural braces, ornamental cornices, and a distinctive decahedral cupola design.

The monastery location at 41.208333 latitude and 44.598333 longitude requires coordination with local authorities due to its proximity to border areas.

The interior features intersecting arches and trefoil and quatrefoil conchs around the cupola columns that create specialized openings for natural light.
