Harichavank Monastery
Harichavank Monastery, Medieval monastery in Shirak Province, Armenia
The monastery complex features a main cathedral with a twenty-sided drum dome, multiple chapels, and stone-built religious structures on a hillside location.
The religious site dates from the 7th century, with Prince Zakare Zakarian commissioning the Cathedral of the Holy Mother of God in 1201.
The monastery functions as an educational center with a scriptorium where Armenian manuscripts were created and preserved through centuries.
The monastery contains multiple buildings for visitors to explore, including the main cathedral, two large stone-built gavits, and a 19th-century bell tower.
The monastery's eastern facade displays a relief carving of the Zakarian brothers holding a model of the cathedral they commissioned.
