Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Legendaarinen luostari, joka inspiroi Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebin lentokokeita, tarjoaa 600-luvulta peräisin olevien kiviseiniensä kanssa ajattoman rauhan. Neljän eri sivilisaation jälkiä kantava rakennus tunnetaan yhtenä Iranin vanhimmista kristillisistä rakennuksista.
Kohokohdat: Seistessäsi pihamaalla kohoavan plataanipuun varjossa löydät kiviin kaiverrettujen armenian- ja persiankielisten kirjoitusten keskellä kadonneen aikakapselin. Jokaisen kiven alla on rukous, jokaisen kaaren takana piilee vuosisatainen kuiskaus.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- The best time for taking photos is between 15:00-17:00 in the afternoon, because the sunlight paints the stone arches in the courtyard a golden color.
- Choose comfortable shoes; sneakers are ideal for walking on the stony paths around the monastery.
- Wearing a headscarf is not mandatory when entering the monastery, but it is a good idea to keep a shawl handy out of respect.
- Do not forget to buy handmade jams sold in the nearby small village; the cherry jam is especially famous.
