Gandzasar (Armenian: Գանձասար)[a] is a 13th-century Armenian Apostolic cathedral (historically a monastery) near the village of Vank in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan. It has historically been the most important church of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) since its foundation. One of the finest pieces of Armenian architecture[6][7] of the mid-1200s, the building is best known among scholars for its richly decorated dome.[6][7]
In Azerbaijan, where it is referred to as "Ganjasar" (Azerbaijani: Gəncəsər), the history of the monastery is falsified. Azerbaijan authorities deny its Armenian heritage and instead call it a "Caucasian Albanian temple."[8]
