USI - S. SARKIS / X-XIII century
This is a fortified convent that encloses a nucleus of buildings one of which is a chapel, a completely destroyed church and a ruined gavit’.
The chapel is a simple asp covered by barrel vaults and enclosed in the shape of a parallelepiped covered by a greatly sloping roof.
Nothing remains of the church that stood between the chapel and the gavit’, as it collapsed completely.

The gavit’, south of the other buildings, was a vast square-shaped space at the centre of the south façade with a large mullioned window and double arch resting on two semi-columns with a free column in the centre.
