Spitakavor Monastery, a 14th-century Armenian monastic complex located 7 kilometres north of Vernashen village near Yeghegnadzor in Vayots Dzor Province, was founded in 1301. Built of felsite stone, the monastery exemplifies traditional Armenian architecture and takes its name—"White monastery"—likely from its pale-hued building material. Today recognized as a cultural heritage monument in Armenia, the site preserves an important example of medieval Armenian monastic design and construction.
