Hakobavank, Armenian monastery in Kalbajar District, Azerbaijan.
The monastery complex consists of multiple stone buildings arranged in a rectangular layout stretching from east to west near the Khachenaget river.
The monastery was founded between the 5th and 7th centuries, with the oldest inscription carved on a khachkar dating back to 853.
Hakobavank functioned as both a religious center and an educational institution where monks produced handwritten gospels and preserved Armenian traditions.
The monastery includes residential quarters with interconnected rooms and heated living spaces in the lower eastern section of the complex.
The western entrance features a three-arch colonnade with finely hewn columns that contrast with the rough-hewn stones used in other parts.
