    I have been to Geghard. This looks similar – where is it?

      Thank you, Wilbur.
      Dadivank is located in Nagorno-Karabakh, and for me one of the most beautiful Armenian monasteries.

        Wow, I didn’t get to NK, one of Eurasia’s most intriguing places. I read about its history with Azerbaijan and Armenia. I would love to go one day. Wilbur.

          I liked it very much. Though I also think it has a somewhat sad side, as you will see many places that were destroyed in the war with Azerbaijan.

      Yes, Dadivank is beautiful and beautifully located.
      Though part of the buildings are still used, so hopefully it will remain standing on that hill.
