                        The monastery, situated in the mountains to the southeast of Melitene and named after the 5th-cent. ascetic Barṣawmo, rose to prominence as the regular residence of Syr. Orth. Patriarchs in the 11th-13th cent., the period often referred to as the Syriac Renaissance.

                        built on top of a mountain near Melitene, it looks like a citadel, a fact which has led some writers to call it the Monastery of the Cave. It was first mentioned in church history in 790. It was the Patriarchal see from the eleventh century until the thirteenth century. A great monastery, it produced five patriarchs and forty-three metropolitans. It remained populated until the middle of the seventeenth century, when it was abandoned.
