Baghaberd fortress

Located in the Syunik province of Armenia, Baghaberd fortress is one of the ancient Armenian fortresses, which was proclaimed inaccessible due to its location. The construction of the fortress is attributed to Prince Baghak. His name was mentioned in Armenian historian Stepanos (Stephen) Orbelyan’s “History of the Province of Syunik,” in which the historian who was also the Metropolitan bishop of Syunik Province wrote that Baghak from the family of Sisak inherited the region and constructed the fortress of Baghaberd, and the region came to be known as the “Land of Bagh.” The fortress had double walls out of which only several partially ruined towers and pyramids of 8 meters have been preserved.
