    • 3 Monastery Mshkavank (on a mountain about 2 km west of the city). The monastery was founded in the 13th century, but its small church with Gavit refers to the 6th century and possibly was built on a ruins of a pagan temple.
    • 4 Monastery of St. Sargis.
    • 5 Berdavan Fortress (about 1½ km to the north of the town, 500 meters from the border with Azerbaijan).
    • 6 Saint John the Illuminator Church.
    Kirants Monastery
    • 7 Kirants and Deghtsnuti Monasteries. Another pair of virtually lost monasteries, these two are about 5 and 10 km of dirt trail past the last village, deep in the forest. The road is often closed to cars at the village, and you need to scurry around to get a key, but you will need to walk partway regardless. Kirants is built of burnt bricks, and has some glazed tiles in the copula as well as some small preserved frescoes. Deghtsnuti is in beautiful ruins, with arches still standing, nice carvings, and another great setting. Once again, a GPS is indispensable.
