The Monastery of Gandzasar and the Armenian Princely Tradition of Artsakh

The Monastery of Gandzasar was one of the spiritual and princely centers of Artsakh, where Hasan-Jalal Dola, Prince of Khachen, built the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist between 1216 and 1238. The monument attests to the high mastery of the Artsakh architectural school.
