Targmanchats Vank

The Targmanchats Vank monastery features stone walls and sections of the eastern wings that remain standing among the fallen structures.

Founded in the seventh century, this religious complex served as a center for Armenian Christian worship and manuscript translations through medieval times.

The monastery earned its name from the Holy Translators who contributed to the development of Armenian literature through their scholarly work.

Visitors need to arrange access to the site beforehand, and the current state of ruins requires careful navigation during exploration.

The remaining walls display construction methods from medieval Armenia, with specific architectural features that match the period's building techniques.
