Tanahat Monastery, dedicated to Surp Stepanos (Saint Stephen), stands on the site of the vanished village of Tanahat, 3 km north of Arevis in the Sisian district of Syunik. It was built between the 5th and 7th centuries, part of the Armenian Apostolic Church's early monastic network in the region.
The complex survives only in part today, its structures reduced to ruin. No inscriptions or later building phases are recorded for the site beyond this dating.
Tanahat Monastery lies in the Syunik region, near Arevis village in the Sisian district, about 147 km southeast of Yerevan as the crow flies.
