Fortress

Distance: 140

Location: Vayots Dzor

Proshaberd  is a fortress built in the 13th century by Prince Prosh Khaghbakian. It is located  in the Vayots Dzor Province of Armenia.

Local folklore tells that prince Prosh fearing possible attacks in the near future is said to have hid his valuables within the walls of Proshaberd and in the nearby mountains and ravines. It is said that, “If one can understand the symbols left by Prince Prosh, then they may possibly locate his lost treasures.” A khachkar that sits alone near the road strangely reads, “The treasure is in the head.”
