The fortress of Kosh (13th century) is located in the northern part, top of a hill with right-angled corners and circular towers, built with clear cut large tuff stone blocks, with the lower part consisting of rough-cut basalt blocks. The entrances are situated in the north and south with ceiling-covered corridors. South of Kosh, stands a large khatchkar-monument of red tuff from 1195 (6.8m tall). According to inscriptions, it is dedicated to the liberation of Aragatzotn from Seljuk Turks. [1]
