Tapi berd or Gevorg Marzpetuni Fortress (Marzpetuni was a famous commander of Armenia in medieval times) is located in the province of Ararat, on the bank of Khosrov River. Built in the first quarter of the 10th century, it represents great architectural value of its period. Inside the walls there stands a church, referred to the 13th century, mentioned in history as a script centre from the year of 1496, surrounded by centuries-old gravestones and fragments of khachkars (cross-stones).

In 2008-2009 Tapi Berd and the church were restored.
