Haghartsin Monastery

Hidden deep in the Dilijan National Park, the Haghartsin Monastery (10th–13th centuries) is one of Armenia’s spiritual treasures. Surrounded by dense forest, its stone churches and khachkars (cross-stones) create a mystical atmosphere. According to legend, “hagh” means play and “artsin” means eagle, because eagles were once seen flying above the monastery during its construction and lunch at local restaurant (lunch price is not included)
