Խունիսավանք, Armenian monastery in Gadabay District, Azerbaijan.

The monastery features stone constructions with tall windows, pointed domes, and decorative elements carved into the volcanic tuff walls of the structure.

The monastery dates back to medieval times when Armenian religious architecture developed its characteristic style between the 6th and 7th centuries.

The monastery walls display traditional Armenian cross-stones known as khachkars, representing the intersection of religious symbolism and architectural craftsmanship.

The remote location of the monastery in Gadabay District requires advance planning for transportation and confirmation of access arrangements.

The structure incorporates local volcanic stone materials to create a vertical design where the height of the building exceeds its horizontal dimensions.
