Hadrut Province, Togh village<\/a><\/h3>\n

The third most famous monastery in Artsakh is Gtchavank. It is located in a forested valley between the villages of Togh and Tumi, on the northern slope of Mt. Toghasar in the Hadrut region. The monastic complex comprises two churches, a vestibule and several other buildings. The complex had a protective wall, the northern part of which has been preserved. Gtchavank served as a famous administrative and spiritual center. In the 9th century Prince Yesayi Abu Musen ruled the region from the impregnable citadel nearby. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
