Geghard Monastery
The famous monastery of Geghard is located in the Kotayk region, 9 km from Garni. Located in the amazingly beautiful gorge of the Goght River, the monastery keeps an ancient history and is of particular importance for Christians. Geghard is a spear that Longinus plunged into the hypochondrium of Jesus Christ crucified on the Cross. The complex consists of the main Catholic church, a porch, two churches carved into the rock, a chapel and the church of the Holy Virgin, which is considered the most ancient monument of the complex. The object is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.
