These are the ruins of Amberd Fortress in Aragatsotn Province in what's present-day Armenia. The fortress was founded in the 7th century CE, while Armenia was ruled by the Kamsarakan princes. The Pahlavuni, Zakaryan, Vachutyan noble families also controlled the fortress until it was finally abandoned in the 13th century CE during an invasion by Timur (r. 1370-1405 CE).
