Un premier ensemble et constitue par les ruines de la Cour princiere (XIIIe-XVIe siecles) et par l'eglise princiere Saint-Nicolas, elevee entre 1340-1376 en "croix grecque" et conservant a-peu-pres integralement la peinture originaire, dont les qualites artistiques la situent parmi les plus importantes exemples de peinture du XIVe siecle. L'ensemble est complete par le ruines de l'eglise de "Saint Nicoara" (XVe siecle). Le deuxieme objectif, l'eglise de l'ancien monastere d'Arges (1512-1517), decoree en pierre richement sculptee, a un plan triconque, a quatre coupoles, au narthex elargi, servant en meme temps de necropole princiere. Le monument constitue un archetype architectural pour une serie de constructions monastiques, fondations princieres representatives, jusqu'au XVIIIe siecle.
