| Description |
Vorotnavank Vorotnavank is a monastic complex located along a ridge overlooking the Vorotan gorge, in the Syunik Province of Armenia. The complex is surrounded by a high stone wall for defense against foreign invasions and once housed workshops, stores, a seminary, resort, cemetery and an alms-house. The main church of Surp Stepanos (St. Stephen Church) was built in 1000 by Queen Shahandukht, ruler of the lands of Syunik. Prior to the construction of the church stood a shrine to Saint Grigor Lusavorich (St. Gregory the Illuminator). Four sacristies were placed at the southeastern end of S. Stepanos. The adjoining church of Surp Karapet (St. John the Baptist) was constructed in 1006-1007 by Queen Shahandukht's son Sevada. The structure has a triple-arched portico at the front façade. A circular drum and a recently reconstructed dome rest above the cruciform plan of the church. (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorotnavank) |
