Proshaberd, Medieval castle in Vayots Dzor region, Armenia.
The fortress extends over 1.5 hectares at the mountain summit, featuring solid basalt walls and a complex water supply system with visible pipes.
The castle was rebuilt in the 13th century when the Zakarians gave part of Vayots Dzor to the Proshian dynasty.
The remains of the castle include an eastern chapel and connections to the nearby Boloraberd or Spitakavor Holy Mother of God monastery.
The fortress contains ruins of military structures, including arsenals and barracks, now buried under thick layers of soil.
The castle's water supply system was discovered by a thirsty mule after seven days without water during a Persian siege.
