The monastery grounds, surrounded by massive stone walls with nine defensive towers, are situated in a ravine with steep slopes. The complex includes 11 churches, three of which are cave churches. To facilitate modern use of the ensemble, a sanitary and utility building was constructed to provide public restrooms for pilgrims and tourists, as well as utility rooms for monastery needs. The building is located to the right of the monastery entrance, within an existing terrain depression.
