Founded in the 10th century, the monastery has remained largely in its original state, except for minor renovations in the 11th and 12th centuries. It is considered an outstanding example of medieval Armenian architecture.

The bronze sculpture of a woman smoking a cigarette is one of the famous female sculptures created by Fernando Botero. His modern bronze sculptures are known for their disproportionate body volumes, and this bronze female sculpture reflects his style. On August 27, 2012, the famous Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero's "Smoking Woman" work was placed in Cafesjian's "sculpture garden" in the Cascade complex, Yerevan. The sculpture was created in 1987. The sculpture of Yerevan is one of the copies. Unlike Botero's previous works in Yerevan, this sculpture was criticized by many residents, for whom it was unusual to see a naked smoking woman in the center of their capital. But over time, residents got used to the statue.

The geological formation is incredible. The path is next to the basalt wall, it will be safe until a rock falls on someone's head. Today, entry was 300 drams. The structure they built for pedestrians is good, I believe it is possible to travel the route with a wheelchair too. I entered from the side that comes from the valley, going down the street next to the entrance to the Temple of the Sun (separate entrance). There is another entrance for those coming by car, and this one has a slightly steep slope. I didn't like the number of cars passing among the pedestrians, it seems to me that it will turn into a place for mass tourism.

The monasteries of Haghpat and Sanahin were both founded after 960 by Queen Khosrowanush, who built them "for the welfare" of her sons Gurgen and Smbat. Haghpat and Sanahin were jointly declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although on the one hand they were two independent monasteries, historically they are sibling monasteries with complementary ensembles. The Haghpat Monastery was a fortified monastery that towered above the town of the same name and was visible from afar. Embedded in the mountain landscape, the complex appears to be growing up from the earth. The oldest sacred building is the Holy Cross Church, also called the "Church of the Holy Sign", in Armenian: Nshan Church. Its outer facade, decorated with strict ornaments, signs and writings, is crowned by a sculptural motif. This shows the two sons of the royal monastery founder with the surprising headgear beret and turban; they hold the church in their hands. But there is no “artistic” trace of the actual founder of the monastery here or in Sanahin.

Gosh (Armenian: Գոշ) is a village in the Dilijan Municipality of the Tavush Province of Armenia. The village is named after Mkhitar Gosh (1130–1213) who took part in the rebuilding of the Nor Ghetik Monastery during the 12th-13th centuries, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1188. The newly built monastery was later named Goshavank in honor of Mkhitar. Goshavank is located just off the main highway that runs through the village. On a hillside west of the monastery complex sits a chapel that also serves as the tomb of Mkhitar Gosh. It was situated to overlook the monastery in which he helped build. The chapel is square in plan with a single centrally located dome above and one portal. Nearby are the ruins of what is said to be Mkhitar's house. Stone foundations and low walls still exist.

According to an inscription in the smaller of the two churches, the monastery was founded in 874 (871) by Princess Mariam, daughter of the “Prince of Princes” (king from 862, 884–890) Ashot Bagratuni and widow of the regional prince Vasak Gabor von Gegharkunik in Syunik (r. 851–859), founded and endowed with goods. On the site of a fortress destroyed by Muhammad ibn Marwan around 701/02, some monks had already built a chapel and a few cells around the year 800. The founding abbot of the princely monastery was the monk and later Catholicos Mashtoz. In 883 Aschot Bagratuni donated to the monastery a cross relic received from Emperor Basil I with a valuable storage archive as well as numerous other lands. The core of the monastery were three small churches consecrated around the year 874, two of which still exist today (Surb Arakelots and Surb Astvatsatsin). The other monastic buildings (library, school, residential building, etc.) were grouped around these, none of which remain today. In contrast to almost all other Armenian monasteries, Sevanavank was not surrounded by a defensive wall, as its island location did not make this necessary. Life in the monastery was strict, as the monastery was intended for monks from Etchmiadzin who had sinned there, as well as for Armenian nobles who had fallen from grace.

The founding of the monastery in the 4th century AD on the site of a pagan spring is attributed to Saint Gregory, patron of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It was destroyed by the Arabs in the 9th century, so no buildings from that period remain. The reconstruction began in 1215. According to an inscription in the main church, the brothers Ivane and Zakhare are considered to be the builders who founded the Zakharjan dynasty, which ruled over Armenia in the 12th century as vassals of the kings of Georgia. In the middle of the 13th century, the monastery came into the possession of the noble Proschjan family, who built their burial place there in the rock. In 1679 the monastery was badly damaged by an earthquake. It remained abandoned and was only populated again by some monks from Echmiadzin after the conquest of Armenia by Russia. It was only restored for tourism in the 20th century. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Geghard The monastery has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.

The main church of the monastery is dedicated to Our Lady. It is an east-facing cross-domed church with four corner chapels and a drum with a tent roof. Its vestibule is much larger than the church itself. Four mighty pillars support the arches that divide the Gawit into nine sections. There is a light opening above the larger central square. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Geghard Gawit, also Gavit (Armenian Գավիթ), refers to a mostly square vestibule in medieval Armenian architecture, which is attached to monastery churches in the west.

The first traces of human settlement date back to the third millennium BC and are grouped around an easily defended loop of the Azat. In the 8th century BC, the Urartian king Argisti I conquered the area. The first written mention of a fortress towering over Garni comes from the Roman historian Tacitus in the middle of the first century BC. The remains were first excavated in 1909–1910, which Soviet archaeologists continued in 1949. The excavation revealed that the fortress in question was built much earlier as a summer residence for the Armenian royal families of the Orontids and Artaxids, probably in the 3rd century BC. The fortress of Garni (Latin Gorneas) was the last refuge of Mithridates, where he and his family were murdered by his stepson and nephew Rhadamistos. Several buildings could be identified within the fortified area, for example the two-story summer palace, a bath complex, a church from 897 AD, a cemetery and the most famous and best-preserved building, a Graeco-Roman temple of Ionic composition.

The monument is made up of huge symmetrical hexagonal and pentagonal basalt columns (almost 50 meters high), which appear to be handcrafted due to their extraordinary symmetry. These wonderful rocks were formed under high pressure conditions due to the cooling and crystallization of volcanic lava. These stones suspended against gravity resemble an organ, which explains why it is also called the “Basalt Organ”. The soundtrack is provided by the river that flows through the gorge and fills the splendor of the stone with the sound of water.
