The Monastery of Yedi Kilisa.

The Monastery of Yedi Kilisa is a dip or pass upon the outline of gentle hills which stretch from the more southerly slopes of the mountain to confine the plain upon the south. The interior of the chapel recalls features in St. Hripsime at Edgmiatsin. [1]

The chapel of Yedi Kilisa is most interesting to the student of architecture, and is no doubt a work of considerable antiquity. A ruined chapel on the south of the building contains a much-effaced inscription to the effect that it was constructed by the lady Khoshkhosh, daughter of Gagik and queen of Senekerim.[2]
