This is also a monastery founded by a student of Davit Garejali. A watchtower (with azure blue stones - Persian??) stands guard on the mountain ridge, visible from afar. Below it, caves have been dug into the edge of the sandstone rock. The church, with its rather damaged paintings from the 18th century (the communists had detonated a bomb inside to destroy everything, the monk said), has an enormously high interior. I didn't see any icons from the 12th century.
You can only get to the monastery with a four-wheel drive jeep. Or walk from the road...
