Haghpat Monastery Complex

Visiting Haghpat Monastery was a truly fascinating experience. The architecture is stunning, rich in detail, and history. One of the most memorable moments was discovering an image of Jesus on the wall, which added a deeply spiritual touch to our visit. It's a place where history, faith, and art come together beautifully.

Haghpat Monastery is an old and beautiful church complex in northern Armenia, built way back in the 900s. It's a UNESCO site because of its amazing old buildings, like the main church. Worth a visit, amazing.

The complex was smaller than expected and needed some basic maintenance. Several buildings but all very close to each other. Maybe I was expecting more after the visit to the more impressive Sanahin monastery.

Lovely monastery with great views, beautiful frescoes inside the church and pleasant architecture.

The large monastery is set against a beautiful backdrop of the mountains. We were there in the afternoon and it was quiet and peaceful. A UNESCO world heritage site worth the drive up from Yerevan.

One of several churches/monasteries to visit in Armenia. An easy day excursion from Tbilisi. Go w a tour. Amazing to see. I did a tour that included lunch prepared by a local family.

I love Orthodox Churches’ these humble and reverent vibe. It is just worthwhile to pay a visit.

Historic, Byzantine-era monastery with a unique architecture. Offers a wonderful view of the Lori region too.
