Dadi Vank Monastery (white stone)

Dadivank Monastery (Armenian: Դադիվանք) is a remarkable monument of Armenian medieval architecture, located in a mountain valley at the junction of the Karabakh and Mrav mountain ranges. Historically associated with the Khachen region, it is currently located in the Kelbajar region of Azerbaijan, near the village of Vank. Dadivank is recognized as: one of the most striking monuments of Armenian feudal architecture; a center for the preservation of 13th-century frescoes and stone carvings; a symbol of Artsakh's revival thanks to extensive restoration. Today, the monastery remains a place of pilgrimage and an object of study, demonstrating the centuries-old history of Armenian culture.
