Monasteries of Haghpat and Sanahin
These two Byzantine monasteries in the Tumanian
region from the period of prosperity during the Kiurikian dynasty (10th
to 13th century) were important centres of learning. Sanahin was renown
for its school of illuminators and calligraphers. The two monastic
complexes represent the highest flowering of Armenian religious
architecture, whose unique style developed from a blending of elements
of Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture and the traditional vernacular
architecture of the Caucasian region.
Cathedral and Churches of Echmiatsin and the Archaeological Site of Zvartnots
The cathedral and churches of Echmiatsin and the archaeological remains at Zvartnots graphically illustrate the evolution and development of the Armenian central-domed cross-hall type of church, which exerted a profound influence on architectural and artistic development in the region.Monastery of Geghard and the Upper Azat Valley
The monastery of Geghard contains a number of
churches and tombs, most of them cut into the rock, which illustrate the
very peak of Armenian medieval architecture. The complex of medieval
buildings is set into a landscape of great natural beauty, surrounded by
towering cliffs at the entrance to the Azat Valley.
