In the enchanting valley of Kotayk, where cliffs cast long shadows over the rolling hills, rises the Monastery of the Holy Mother of God in Bjni – a sanctuary founded in 1031 that still whispers the breath of centuries. Its main church, raised by the eminent Grigor Magistros Pahlavuni – statesman, scholar and visionary – was destined to become not only a seat of bishops but also a beacon of Armenia's spiritual and political life. During the Middle Ages, Bjni blossomed into what chroniclers called the "Seminary of Magistros" – a citadel of learning where manuscripts were copied with reverence, new works composed and ideas born that would nourish the soul of a nation.

In the heart of Tsaghkadzor the jewel of Armenia's mountain resorts stretches a cableway that has become both a landmark of leisure and a gateway to adventure. Running along the eastern slope of Mount Teghenis, it links five stations and gives access to more than a dozen ski trails of varying levels. Its story began in 1967, when the first lifts started carrying visitors and athletes toward the snowy heights.

In the northwestern part of Tsaghkadzor, embraced by mountain peaks and evergreen forests, stands Kecharis Monastery – a spiritual treasure of medieval Armenia. Its origins date back to the 11th-13th centuries, when this grand complex rose in the mountains as a beacon of faith and learning. The ensemble includes four churches and two narthexes, each bearing the mark of centuries and the craftsmanship of master builders. One of the narthexes became the resting place of Magister Grigor Pahlavuni – the distinguished statesman and founder of the monastery, whose name remains etched in Armenian history.
