O
Rýchle fakty: Legendárny kláštor, ktorý inšpiroval letové pokusy Hazarfena Ahmeda Çelebiho, ponúka svojimi kamennými múrmi zo 7. storočia nadčasové ticho. Stavba nesúca stopy štyroch rôznych civilizácií je známa ako jedna z najstarších kresťanských stavieb v Iráne.
Zaujímavosti: Keď stojíte v tieni platanu týčiaceho sa na nádvorí, nachádzate časovú kapsulu stratenú medzi arménskymi a perzskými nápismi vytesanými do kameňov. Pod každým kameňom je skrytá modlitba, za každým oblúkom je ukryté storočné šepotanie.
Insiderské tipy
- 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.
