Glkhavor Gates :: ARMENIAN HISTORICAL MONUMENTS

Glkhavor Gates 13 c․

NKR / Karvajar / Dadivank

Location

The main or the large gate is situated within the monastery complex. This indicates that not all the structures were initially enclosed into the wall, or that other structures were built later.

Description
1181 y․

Although it is impossible to date the gates precisely, two inscribed and dated khachkars fastened into the walls (1181 and 1200) indicate that the fortress walls, as well as the gates should have presumably been built after 1200.
