    On the southern slope of the majestic Mount Aragats, nestled among picturesque landscapes, lies the Tegher Monastery – a quiet sanctuary whose history dates back to the 13th century. Its construction was carried out under the patronage of Mamakhatun, the wife of Prince Vache Vachutyan and to this day the complex has preserved an aura of noble grandeur. At its heart stands the main church, complemented by a narthex and two graceful chapels placed on the southwest and northwest sides. These small chapels add harmony and individuality to the ensemble, while the narthex, with its unusual architectural design, is considered a unique achievement in Armenian architecture. The austere lines of the stone walls coexist with refined decorative details, creating a sense of completeness and solemn elegance.

    On the slopes of the picturesque Aragatsotn region, in the village of Ohanavan, Hovhannavank monastery rises – an ancient sanctuary whose story reaches deep into the past. According to tradition, the first structures appeared here as early as the 5th century, when the Christian faith in Armenia was only beginning to take shape in stone. Through the centuries, the monastery was rebuilt many times, preserving within its walls the memory of different eras and patrons.
