The Monastery of Geghard
Go reveal the 4th-century Geghard Monastery which is cut into the side of the rock. The name Geghard appeared because of the spear kept there, with the help of which the Roman soldier pierced the side of Christ. In Armenian, it is called “Gerhard”. Now the spear is situated in the museum of Etchmiadzin. Don’t you want to get in touch with this mystery?

The plateau itself is incredibly beautiful and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the surrounding area.
