The Monastery in the Rock
Tucked away in the dramatic cliffs of the Azat River Gorge, Geghard is a masterpiece of faith and stone. Partially hewn directly from the mountain, this 13th-century wonder isn’t just a monastery — it’s a living monument to Armenia’s spiritual resilience. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Geghard once housed the legendary spear that pierced Christ, making it one of the most sacred destinations in the Christian world.
