Tatev is recognized as the episcopal center of Syunik, holding an important place in the region’s history as a hub of economic, political, religious, and cultural activity.
During the 14th and 15th centuries, it was home to one of the most renowned medieval universities in Armenia, the University of Tatev. This educational institution significantly contributed to the progress in fields of science, religion, philosophy, book reproduction, and the evolution of miniature art.
