Dadivank Monastery

Shahumyan Province, Azerbaijan · built 801

Dadivank or Khutavank (lit. 'monastery on the hill') is an Armenian Apostolic monastery in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan. It was built between the 9th and 13th centuries and is one of the main monastic complexes of medieval Armenia. In Azerbaijan, the monastery is called Dadivəng or Xudavəng. Azerbaijan denies the monastery's Armenian religious and cultural heritage, instead controversially referring to it as a "Caucasian Albanian temple."
