Gandzasar Armenian Monastery

Local nameГандзасар Գանձասար
LocationKarabakh

Gandzasar is a 13th-century Armenian Apostolic cathedral near the village of Vank, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan. It has historically been the most important church of Artsakh since its foundation. One of the finest pieces of Armenian architecture of the mid-1200s, the building is best known among scholars for its richly decorated dome.

In Azerbaijan, where it is referred to as "Ganjasar", the history of the monastery is falsified. Azerbaijan authorities deny its Armenian heritage and instead call it a "Caucasian Albanian temple."
