Garni – Geghard
This day you will see two pearls of Armenian architecture – monastery complex of Geghard (XII-XIII centuries) and the pagan temple of Garni, dedicated to the God of Sun. Garni was a summer residence of Armenian Kings. It is the only building preserved in Armenia after the Christianity adoption as the state religion.
According to a legend the spear that pierced Jesus Christ’s body was hidden for a long time among the rocks of the Geghard monastery. That’s why it was called “Geghardavanq” which is translated from Armenian as “Monastery of spear”.
