THE FORGOTTEN MONASTERY IN THE EAST: VAŞLOB
Abstract :
Ardahan has had an important place in Georgian history from the very beginning; the architects invited from Constantinople have built the first church here when Chiristianity was adopted at the beginning of the 4th century. Klardjeti has become an important religious center with the work of a group of priests settled in Klardjeti (Artvin Bereket Village) during the Arab invasion. Then Tao (Erzurum) region followed this area. The fact that only three of the many monasteries built take place in the province of Ardahan shows Ardahan had the secondary importance in monastery activities. In this study Vaşlob Monastery located in Çıldır, Övündü village at Ardahan district will be introduced and different construction periods will be discussed.
