A wonderful monument of the Middle Ages in Armenia, almost on the border with Georgia, it was all a single kingdom of ruler Tamara. All the numerous buildings of the monastery are open to the public, it is a whole complex.

The monastery impressed us very much, and the people here are wonderful, especially the rare khachkar and the paintings inside are unusual. Right next to the monastery, there is a spacious parking lot, a shop, a cafe and an inexpensive hotel Haghpat, which has a wonderful owner. It was cooler in spring than in Yerevan
