Monasteries in Armenia
Monasteries, too, play important roles in Armenia’s cultural heritage. Many are located in protected and slightly concealed settings, close to rural communities. This was to ensure monks were provided with privacy and the ability to carry out a virtuous lifestyle in the eyes of God. Nowhere in Armenia exhibits the relationship between location and humility better than the Haghpat Monastery that sits halfway up a hillside overlooking the Debed River. Together with the Sanahin Monastery, Haghpat has long been a highlight for those traveling in northern Armenia and is a chance to observe local village life continuing in much the same vein as it has done for generations.Central Armenia’s Geghard Monastery also has a spectacular setting, with certain sections of the church complex carved out of the surrounding cliffs. Many of Armenia’s monasteries are still inhabited by monks, including the precariously placed Tatev Monastery that can be reached via the world’s longest reversible cable car. The 5.7km ride takes 12 minutes from the village of Halidzor. Khor Virap Monastery, on the plains of Mount Ararat, is another significant site, just a stone’s throw from the Turkish border.
