Photos of Tatev Monastery
Tatev Monastery, founded in the Middle Ages, the university here was once the cultural center of Armenia, and trained the very important scholar Grigor Tatevatsi at that time, and his tomb is still in the monastery. The monastery that tourists see today was rebuilt after the independence of Armenia from the late Soviet Union. The original building was destroyed by the earthquake in the 1930s. It is a little far from the main road, and the beautifully carved sarcophagus of Grigor Tatevatsi and the seismic column next to it are all highlights. Tatev Monastery faces a canyon, both natural and cultural landscapes are worth seeing.
