Description:

The monastery, founded at the very end of the XIX century, is located in a rocky area and a significant part of its premises is located in the thickness of the rock. Old-timers say that even before the monastery appeared here, Christian images were found in the caves, probably dating from the first centuries of Christianity. It is even believed that the monastery itself has a non-man-made origin.
The monastery is named in honor of its founder St. Simeon of Daibab, his hand belongs to the frescoes, which are now painted the premises of the monastery.
