It lies 15 km southwest of Mount Ararat, 93 km east of the city of Agri and 35 km from the Iranian fringe.

The territory has had a rich history with landmarks going back to the season of the Kingdom of Urartu more than 2700 years prior. Before the Ottoman Empire the site was alluded to by its Armenian name Daruynk. In the 4th century the Sasanians neglected to catch the Armenian fortress and imperial treasury at Daroynk. Sovereigns of the Bagratid tradition of Armenia lived at Daroynk and revamped the fortification into its present setup with numerous baileys and towers deliberately incorporated into the climbing rock outcrop. When King Gagik Arcruni reoccupied the fortification ca. 922 A.D.
