Karmiravan Monastery, Medieval monastery in Martakert Province, Azerbaijan.
The stone monastery rests at an elevation of 1200 meters, featuring traditional Armenian architectural elements with a central dome and exterior carved decorations.
Founded in 1224 by the House of Hasan-Jalalyan, the monastery served as a center of religious education and manuscript production throughout the medieval period.
The monastery walls contain numerous inscriptions in Armenian script, documenting religious texts and historical events from the 13th to 17th centuries.
Access to Karmiravan Monastery requires advance arrangements due to its location in a politically sensitive area within the Kalbajar District.
The monastery's position, 12 kilometers west-northwest of Akhtamar Island, made it a strategic point along medieval pilgrimage routes through the Caucasus region.
