Glavnu crkvu kompleksa-Surb Sion podigao je 1215.godine princ Vase Vasutian na mjestu gdje je pustinjak bio u prvim stoljećima kršćanstva.
Crkva, slična Crkvi Ovhannavanka, odnosi se na vrstu križnih kupolastih crkava.
Samostanski kompleks uključuje Gala (priprata) ins (1250) i spremište za knjige (1255), koji se dodaje maloj crkvi na Sveta Djevica (1235).
Ogroman unutarnji volumen samostana prisiljava nas da priznamo da je crkva služila za prepisivanje knjiga uz očuvanje rukopisa.
U gornjem dijelu oltarne apside nalazi se slika izlazećeg sunca s zrakama, na vrhu je bareljef letećeg amgella i grb Vakutiana: orao s janjetinom u kandžama.
U samostanskoj ogradi, kao i unutar kompleksa, sačuvani su grobni spomenici, od kojih su neki bili ukrašeni u stilu hatkara. Možete uživati u izražajnom pogledu na samostan s suprotne obale rijeke kassah.
