Location

Kalapan is a medieval village site retaining the ruins of a uni-nave church and cemetery (it is also known amidst the local people by the name of Klapanner). It is situated on the skirts of a forest, on the slant of a mountain branch extending in an east-facing position between two armlets which form one of the right tributaries of the river Voskepar, about 3.5 km south-west of the village, at an altitude of 1,045 metres above sea level (N 41°02՛32.70՛՛; E 045°01՛07.80՛՛).

Monuments

The church of the village site differs from other similar monuments in that it lacks vestries, as a result of which, its eastern facade is shorter as compared to the main width of the church (exterior dimensions: 10.37 x 5.95 metres).
