Abstract :
This article deals with five rock-cut tombs and an open-air shrine located at Madavank, near Van, in eastern Turkey. These monuments are described, analysed and compared with the similar structures built by the Urartians. It is proposed that the tombs and the open-air shrine at Madavank comprise a unique complex for the Van region.
