Böyük Qaramurad Monastery[1] ({{Lang-az|Böyük Qaramurad Vəngi}}) or Harants Monastery[2] ({{lang-arm|Հարանց Վանք}} ), is a Christian temple, located on the municipality of Böyük Qaramurad in the Gadabay region of Azerbaijan.

The monastic complex is situated on a hill rising between two small gorges, about a kilometre north-east of Böyük Qaramurad village. About 20 metres north of the church stands its double-floor belfry entirely built of finely-finished stone. Its first floor (exterior dimensions: 4.0 x 4.0 metres) comprises four solid columns connected with each other through sagittate arches. The second one represents a rotunda with its broach supported by 8 cylindrical pillars.

Architecture

The church of the monastic complex represents a tri-nave basilica with two entrances opening in the west and north, its vault lying below a gable roof and inwardly supported by a pair of square pillars and pilasters. A rectangular vestry is located on both sides of the semi-circular apse. All the vault-bearing arches are pointed. The sanctuary, whose windows open from its eastern (3), northern (2) and western (1) facades, is built of undressed and roughly-hewn stone and mortar. Its pillars, pilasters, vault-bearing arches and cornerstones are finely-finished. The walls bear some khachkars, part of which is inscribed.

About 20 metres north of the church stands its double-floor belfry entirely built of finely-finished stone. Its first floor (exterior dimensions: 4.0 x 4.0 metres) comprises four solid columns connected with each other through sagittate arches. The second one represents a rotunda with its broach supported by 8 cylindrical pillars.

Cross-stones (Khachkars)

In 1960 the cross-stone, standing on the first floor of the belfry of Böyük Qaramurad Monastery, was moved to Holy Etchmiadzin Cathedral and placed in the yard of the Patriarchate.[3][4]
