Ovanavank and Sahmosavank are located on the edge of the canyon, and the architecture is very similar. Interestingly, monasteries were built as fortresses.

A typical Armenian temple of the 10th century. Yes, it's ancient, but it would be possible to do something decent for tourists, since there are obviously rare services there. For example, there is a collapsed floor, you can easily stumble and fall, but the roof is full of holes and birds are flying (and not only flying). It's dark, there's not much space, there's no toilet, but there's a toll booth outside, and there's also a pool (fountain) that doesn't work. We went to Yerevan as an excursion from Yerevan, and I would never go there on purpose myself, and I don't advise anyone, nothing special. But the view of the gorge and Ararat is very beautiful.

A very beautiful place, constantly weddings. We arrived by Yandex taxi, asked to wait for the driver so that we would accept the order on the way back. Otherwise, it is difficult to get out, since a taxi does not go here.
