Historical Introduction
1301 y․

Besides two churches and cemeteries inside the village, two monastery complexes situated a little below, in the gorge under the rocks in the southern and northwestern outskirts of the village were also totally destroyed. The first of them was the famous Getamijo Surb Astvatzatzin (Holy Virgin of the Confluence) monastery, founded in 1301.

Description

As for Getamijo Vank - its stones were mainly delivered to the nearby village Chragh, for the construction of another school. Besides numerous fragments of crosses and relieves found here upon removing the plaster, we discovered 22 inscribed fragments of the large building inscription of Getamijo Vank, which enabled us to interpret the original inscription anew.
