Khor Virap Monastery is located on the Ararat plain in what's present-day Armenia, and it is situated very close to the Armenian-Turkish border. Constructed from the 5th-17th century CE, Khor Virap is celebrated in Armenia as the site where Saint Gregory the Illuminator (c. 257 – c. 331 CE) was imprisoned by Tiridates III of Armenia (r. 287–330 CE) for his Christian beliefs.
