Aghjots Vank, Medieval monastery in Ararat Province, Armenia
The monastery contains two churches and a partially collapsed vestibule situated along a tributary of the Azat River Valley within Khosrov State Reserve.
Prince Grigor Khaghbakian and Princess Zaza commissioned the construction of the main monastery structures in 1217, marking a period of religious expansion.
The church walls display elaborate geometric patterns and biblical scenes, including representations of the Day of Judgement and Daniel among the lions.
Visitors need to follow a dirt track through Khosrov Reserve along the Azat River, approximately five kilometers from the entrance at Baiburt.
The portal of Saints Peter and Paul Church features two full-length relief sculptures from the 14th century depicting the apostles.
