Kuys Varvara

The stone monastery features traditional Armenian architectural elements with dark gray basalt walls and intricately carved crosses throughout its structure.

The monastery dates back to medieval Armenia, serving as both a religious sanctuary and an educational center for local communities during its peak.

Religious ceremonies continue within the monastery walls, where visitors observe traditional Armenian Orthodox practices and ancient spiritual customs.

The monastery remains accessible throughout the year, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable conditions for exploring the surrounding grounds.

Inside the chapel, six ancient cross-stones contain valuable inscriptions from 1284, providing insights into Armenian medieval craftsmanship.
