Kecharis Monastery, Tsaghkadzor, Armenia
Kecharis is a remarkable 11-13-th century architectural ensemble of Armenia, located on the northwestern extremity of the Tsaghkadzor. Resort Tsaghkadzor lies in a picturesque valley on the eastern slope of mount Tsaghkunyatc at 1845 metres above sea level.
The monasterial complex is made up of four churches, an annexe, khachkars and two chapels. The monuments, built of finely polished basalt blocks, have been rather well preserved and the entire ensemble has survived to our day in its initial compositional beauty.
