The monastery in the rock is magnificent.
However, the impression was spoiled by a man who tried to charge us for parking. At the same time, there is no sign / poster indicating that parking is paid.

This monastery is just super. In Armenia, most monasteries are pretty, although without paintings.

A very beautiful monastery. It took about 40 minutes by taxi from Yerevan. Among the mountains, stunning views. An interesting tour, there is something to remember.

Nothing special at all. It's kind of built in a rock. In fact, nothing surprises. Just an old temple. There's not even a light inside.

A stunning monastery. In the most picturesque place. It is near Yerevan, so it is better to arrive early. We arrived before the opening, we had to wait a little, but it was worth it - no tourists, no merchants - silence, peace and tranquility. An interesting interior of the temples, in the temple, which is partially built, partially carved into the rock, there is a spring with delicious and icily cold water right inside.

Geghard (literally from Armenian - "spear") - a monastery complex located in the gorge of the Gokht mountain river (right tributary of the Azat River).
🏯 The monastery was founded in the IV century on the site of a sacred spring originating in a cave. Therefore, it was originally named Ayrivank, which means "cave monastery".
⚔️ Later, in the IX and X centuries, it was captured by the Arabs, and only partially restored after repeated complete destruction. Nothing of the early buildings of Ayrivank has survived.
In the XIII century, it reached its greatest prosperity thanks to representatives of the Khakhbakian (Proshyan) family, who expanded and improved the monastery. At that time, Geghard was known as the "Monastery of the Seven Churches" and the "Monastery of the Forty Altars".
The more complete name - Geghardavank (literally - "monastery of the spear"), comes from the spear of Longinus, which pierced the body of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and, allegedly, brought to Armenia by the Apostle Thaddeus among many other relics.
The cliffs surrounding the monastery are part of the gorge of the Gokht River. Some of the temples (XII-XIII centuries) of the monastery complex are completely hollowed out inside the rocks, while others are complex structures consisting of both walled rooms and rooms hollowed out deep inside the cliff. On the territory of the monastery complex there are numerous carved stone walls and free-standing khachkars - traditional Armenian stone memorial steles with crosses.
