Saint Christopher Monastery, 7th-century Armenian monastery in Dashtadem, Armenia
The Saint Christopher Monastery includes a restored church with an octagonal drum dome and four small windows illuminating its interior space.
Built in the 7th century, the monastery complex received additions in the 13th century, including a rectangular stone tower with sloped walls.
The cemetery surrounding the monastery contains khachkars, Armenian stone carvings that serve as traditional grave markers since the 6th century.
Located 2.2 kilometers southeast of Dashtadem village at 1,458 meters elevation, the monastery offers views of the nearby Dashtadem Fortress.
The stone tower adjacent to the church lacks interior access points, suggesting specialized functions beyond standard bell tower purposes.
