The monastery was built over a Bronze Age grave field (13.-11. BCE). Vahanavank became the religious center for the kings of Syunik in the 11th century.

For me it was a hidden beauty which was not very much spoken about. Yet its truly amazing, very beautiful and has a great history behind it. The monastery yard is taken care of and the monastery is in the renovation process. Hope very soon it will become a great place for visitors of Syunik.

10-11th century monastery in a very calm, relaxing place located in Tigranasar mountain. There are khachkars, tombstones, very beautiful view. The way to a church is amazing

Great nature and spirit of the middle-age Christianity, clear water sources and Armenian hospitality in one place.

10th century monastery

A beautiful monastery... It is situated on the mountains which are covered with forests... The rooftile of the church is good and very rare in Armenia... For me getting there was the best part of my journey... And also the man who works there is very kind.You must visit this place if you are in Kapan.
