About
The Tsrviz Chapel, also known as Moro-Dzoro, is a significant medieval Armenian religious site located near Lusahovit in the Tavush Province of Armenia. Initially constructed in the 5th century CE, this chapel exemplifies early Christian architectural styles. It underwent significant reconstruction during the 12th and 13th centuries, highlighted by an inscription that details King George III of Georgia's tax exemptions and land grants to the monastery. The chapel's dome was notably rebuilt in 1213 CE by Ivane Mkhargrdzeli, the atabeg of the Kingdom of Georgia. The site is adorned with inscriptions and surrounded by the remains of a medieval settlement, including khachkars. The chapel was also renovated in the 1980s, reflecting its ongoing historical and cultural significance.
