Tigranakert of Artsakh.
Tigranakert of Artsakh, founded by King Tigranes II in the 1st century BC, is a large settlement in the Askeran region of Artsakh. Spanning 70 hectares, it's situated on the Vankasar mountain slope and plain. Archaeological research has uncovered a Hellenistic fortification system, artificial terraces, and powerful walls. The city was built with local limestone and features Early Christian architecture, including a square with double churches and a monumental stela with a cross.
