Yeghish Arakyal Monastery, is an Armenian monastery that is located on the bank of the Yeghsharakel River in Karabakh, near the Karabakh-Azeri border. Because of the close proximity to the militarized border, no visitors are allowed to travel to the monastery. Yeghish Arakyal Monastery was built sometime in the 5th century. The minster is surrounded by 7 chapels, one of which is the tomp of king Vachagan II, also known as Vachagan the Pious.
