Yeghish Arakyal Monastery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeghish Arakyal Monastery, is an Armenian monastery that is located on the bank of the Yeghsharakel River in the Mardakert region of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. Because of the close proximity to the militarized border, no visitors are allowed to travel to the monastery. Yeghish Arakyal Monastery was built sometime in the 5th century. The minster is surrounded by 7 chapels, one of which is the tomp of king Vachagan III, also known as Vachagan the Pious (487-510).
