[1] Meghri Fortress was probably built during the years of formation and empowerment of the Syunik Kingdom (late X-XI cc.).

Later, the fortress was not mentioned, but it undoubtedly played an active role during the military operations in Arevik, a province in the south of Syunik, as a result of which it was subjected to many destructions and reconstructions, so it is difficult to restore its original structure.

At the beginning of the XVIII century, military commander Davit Bek rebuilt the fortress to withstand the attacks of the Turkish troops.

The advantage of such an orientation was that the fortress was protected from the north by natural barriers, so the enemy could attack only from the opposite side.

In the XVIII century, the towers were reconstructed and taking into consideration the use of firearms, embrasures with a radial arrangement were added.
