NKR / Karvajar / Dadivank

Description

These structures were built upon the completion of Saint Dadi Church and the Cathedral (1214) may be even the bell tower. A single nave basilica and the parvis were attached to the whole southern wall of St Dad church.

1283 — 1293 yy․

The dated tomb (1293) discovered in the parvis might serve a dating criterion for the parvis, which, in my opinion, was constructed before the end of the XIII cent. Consequently the basilica was also built between 1283-1293 together with the parvis linked to it from the west.
