Dramatically perched on the edge of the Arpa Çayı gorge, the Convent of the Virgins is unfortunately off limits. Also built by Tigran Honentz, its distinctive, serrated-domed chapel is enclosed by a defensive wall. It's clearly visible from the Menüçer Camii, but for a closer look, descend the rocky steps leading down the Silk Road into the gorge. Scant ruins of a bridge , also off limits, stand further on, right below the Menüçer Camii and visible from there.
