I visited this church in May. Geghard Church is located in a mountainous and lush area, with an open courtyard and surrounding nature that create a pleasant atmosphere for visitors. The church building is simple, and the main halls provide enough space for visitors. Inside, there are some small rooms that are dark and somewhat eerie, but they can be interesting for those who appreciate historical sites. The walking paths around the church are easy and enjoyable, and the fresh air makes the visit relaxing.

Absolutely breathtaking place! The Geghard Monastery is partly carved into the rock and surrounded by dramatic cliffs — it feels both ancient and sacred. You can feel the silence and coolness of the stone halls, even when many visitors are around. A must-see in Armenia — spiritual, peaceful, and unforgettable.

Amazing place, a must see. The name implies the monastery of the spear. It is believed the roman spear that pearced the side if Jesus Christ was brought here by one of his Apostles (St Thaddeus).

I was delighted to visit this place. It gave me goosebumps to think about how the monastery was constructed, perched on the mountain, and the way water flows inside it – something I’ll never forget. It’s truly a magnificent marvel and a wonderful place to experience.

Amazing church cut right into the cliff. Carvings and an altar still used today. Surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. Highly recommend 🇨🇦
