An ancient and beautiful monastery. A real architectural monument. The interiors and stone carvings are particularly interesting. The views are magnificent. The road is excellent and there is a cafe nearby where a good barbecue is not expensive.

A beautiful ancient monastery (968), which, like Sanahin, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996. Amazing view from the mountain! The famous Armenian poet of the 18th century, Sayat Nova, was exiled here. In S. Parajanov's film "The Color of pomegranate" you can see the footage shot in Haghpat, when it comes to this period of the poet's life.

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
