Surb Stefanos Monastery, Armenian monastery in Staryi Krym, Russia.
The monastery complex features a medieval church named Surb Nshan, a bell tower, and a refectory with basement chambers beneath the structure.
Armenian monks established the monastery in the 14th century while seeking refuge from Genoese Catholics, creating a religious center in the Northern Black Sea region.
The refectory section of the monastery contains a museum that documents the history of Surb Khach through various historical periods and architectural changes.
The monastery grounds include an orchard with two fountains connected by ceramic pipes to natural springs, with stairs providing access between different sections.
The Surb Nshan church, built in 1358, preserves fragments of medieval paintings within its walls, representing Armenian architectural traditions of that period.
