The reputation of the local manufactures was still known to authors of the Islamic period. Sasanian efforts to impose the Zoroastrian religion in Armenia never ceased. The construction of a fire temple in Dvin led to a revolt in 571-72. Also in the 10th century the Byzantines reentered the history of Dvin. Most of the archeological finds at the site are from the Bagratid period.
Today there is only a small settlement on the site.
