Dadivank
(Khutavank,
Monastery on the Hill). Located in the Khachen principality in Artsakh
(present-day west of the NKR, Kelbajar region), Dadivank is an outstanding
monument of the medieval Armenian architecture. Tradition states that
Dadi, one of the 70 disciples sent to Armenia by Thaddeus, Apostle of
Jesus Christ, suffered martyrdom in Artsakh. In 1214, Dadivank (Monastery
of Dadi) was built in the ancient place of his burial.
