The combination, together with numerous engraved and free-standing <a href="/wiki/Khachkar" title="Khachkar">khachkars</a> is a unique sight, being one of the most frequented tourist destinations in Armenia. </p><p>Most visitors to Geghard also choose to visit the nearby pagan <a href="/wiki/Garni_Temple" title="Garni Temple">Temple of Garni</a>, located further down the Azat River.

The site is that of a spring arising in a cave which had been sacred in pre-Christian times, hence one of the names by which it was known, Ayrivank (the Monastery of the Cave). The first monastery was destroyed by Arabs in the 9th century. </p><p>Nothing has remained of the structures of Ayrivank. According to Armenian historians of the 4th, 8th and 10th centuries the monastery comprised, apart from religious buildings, well-appointed residential and service installations. Ayrivank suffered greatly in 923 from Nasr, a vice-regent of an Arabian caliph in Armenia, who plundered its valuable property, including unique manuscripts, and burned down the magnificent structures of the monastery. Earthquakes also did it no small damage. </p><p>Though there are inscriptions dating to the 1160s, the main church was built in 1215 under the auspices of the brothers <a href="/wiki/Zakare_II_Zakarian" title="Zakare II Zakarian">Zakare</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ivane_I_Zakarian" title="Ivane I Zakarian">Ivane</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Zakarids%E2%80%93Mkhargrdzeli" class="mw-redirect" title="Zakarids–Mkhargrdzeli">Zakarid</a> generals of <a href="/wiki/Queen_Tamar" class="mw-redirect" title="Queen Tamar">Queen Tamar</a> of Georgia, who took back most of Armenia from the Turks.<sup id="cite_ref-TFM14_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TFM14-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The gavit, partly free-standing, partly carved in the cliff, dates to before 1225, and a series of chapels hewn into the rock dates from the mid-13th century following the purchase of the monastery by <a href="/wiki/Prince_Prosh_Khaghbakian" class="mw-redirect" title="Prince Prosh Khaghbakian">Prince Prosh Khaghbakian</a>, vassal of the Zakarians and founder of the <a href="/wiki/Proshian_principality" class="mw-redirect" title="Proshian principality">Proshian principality</a>. Over a short period the Proshyans built the cave structures which brought Geghard well-merited fame — the second cave church, the family sepulcher of <a href="/wiki/Zhamatun" class="mw-redirect" title="Zhamatun">zhamatun</a> Papak and Ruzukan, a hall for gatherings and studies (collapsed in the middle of the 20th century) and numerous cells. The chamber reached from the North East of the <a href="/wiki/Gavit" title="Gavit">gavit</a> became <a href="/wiki/Prince_Prosh_Khaghbakian" class="mw-redirect" title="Prince Prosh Khaghbakian">Prince Prosh Khaghbakian</a>’s tomb in 1283. The adjacent chamber has carved in the rock the arms of the <a href="/wiki/Proshian_family" class="mw-redirect" title="Proshian family">Proshian family</a>, including an eagle with a lamb in its claws. A stairway W of the gavit leads up to a funerary chamber carved out in 1288 for <a href="/wiki/Papak_Proshian" class="mw-redirect" title="Papak Proshian">Papak Proshian</a> and his wife Ruzukan. The Proshyan princes provided Geghard with an irrigation system in the 13th century. At this time it was also known as the Monastery of the Seven Churches and the Monastery of the Forty Altars. All around the monastery are caves and <a href="/wiki/Khachkar" title="Khachkar">khachkars</a>. The monastery was defunct, the main church used to shelter the flocks of the <a href="/wiki/Karapapakh" class="mw-redirect" title="Karapapakh">Karapapakh</a> nomads in winter, until resettled by a few monks from Ejmiatsin after the Russian conquest. Restored for tourist purposes but now with a small ecclesiastical presence, the site is still a major place of pilgrimage. </p><p>The monastery was famous because of the relics that it housed. The most celebrated of these was the spear which had wounded Christ on the Cross, allegedly brought there by the <a href="/wiki/Apostle_Thaddeus" class="mw-redirect" title="Apostle Thaddeus">Apostle Thaddeus</a>, from which comes its present name, Geghard-avank ("the Monastery of the Spear"), first recorded in a document of 1250. This made it a popular place of pilgrimage for Armenian Christians over many centuries. Relics of the Apostles Andrew and John were donated in the 12th century, and pious visitors made numerous grants of land, money, manuscripts, etc., over the succeeding centuries. In one of the cave cells there lived, in the 13th century, <a href="/wiki/Mekhitar_of_Ayrivank" title="Mekhitar of Ayrivank">Mkhitar Ayrivanetsi</a>, the well-known Armenian historian. </p><p>No works of applied art have survived in Geghard, except for the legendary spear (<i>geghard</i>). The shaft has a diamond-shaped plate attached to its end; a Greek cross with flared ends is cut through the plate. A special case was made for it in 1687, now kept in the museum of Echmiadzin monastery. The gilded silver case is an ordinary handicraft article of 17th-century Armenia. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Complex">Complex</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Geghard&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Complex"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg/220px-Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="161" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg/330px-Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg/440px-Geghard_Armenia_msu-2018-3632.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5460" data-file-height="4000" /></a><figcaption>Entrance to the monastic complex</figcaption></figure> <p>Today the monastery complex is located at the end of the paved road, and the walk up from the parking lot is lined with women selling sweet bread, sheets of <a href="/wiki/Dried_fruit" title="Dried fruit">dried fruit</a> (fruit lavash), sweet sujukh (grape molasses covered strings of walnuts) and various souvenirs. A group of musicians usually plays for a few seconds as visitors approach, perhaps willing to play longer for money. </p><p>At the approach to the main entrance on the west there are small caves, chapels, carvings and constructions on the hillside. Right before the entrance are some shallow shelves in the cliff onto which people try to throw pebbles in order to make their wish come true. Just inside the entrance to the compound are the 12th–13th century ramparts protecting three sides of the complex, and the cliffs behind protect the fourth. Walking across the complex will take one to the secondary entrance on the east, outside of which is a table for ritual animal offerings (matagh), and a bridge over the stream. </p><p>The one- and two-storey residential and service structures situated on the perimeter of the monastery's yard were repeatedly reconstructed, sometimes from their foundations, as happened in the 17th century and in 1968–1971. It is known that most of the monks lived in cells excavated into the rock-face outside the main enceinte, which have been preserved, along with some simple oratories. The rock-faces over the whole area bear elaborate crosses (khatchkar) carved in relief. More than twenty spaces, varying in shape and size, were carved, at different levels, in solid rock massifs surrounding the main cave structures. Those in the western part of the complex were for service purposes, and the rest are small rectangular chapels with a semicircular apse and an altar. There are twin and triple chapels with one entrance, some of the entrances ornamented with carvings. There are many often richly ornamented khachkars cut on rock surfaces and on the walls of the structures or put up on the grounds of Geghard in memory of a deceased or in commemoration of someone's donation to the monastery. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_main_church_(Katoghike,_1215)"><span id="The_main_church_.28Katoghike.2C_1215.29"></span>The main church (Katoghike, 1215)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Geghard&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The main church (Katoghike, 1215)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Monasterio_de_Geghard,_Armenia,_2016-10-02,_DD_92.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Monasterio_de_Geghard%2C_Armenia%2C_2016-10-02%2C_DD_92.jpg/220px-Monasterio_de_Geghard%2C_Armenia%2C_2016-10-02%2C_DD_92.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Monasterio_de_Geghard%2C_Armenia%2C_2016-10-02%2C_DD_92.jpg/330px-Monasterio_de_Geghard%2C_Armenia%2C_2016-10-02%2C_DD_92.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Monasterio_de_Geghard%2C_Armenia%2C_2016-10-02%2C_DD_92.jpg/440px-Monasterio_de_Geghard%2C_Armenia%2C_2016-10-02%2C_DD_92.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6137" data-file-height="4640" /></a><figcaption>The main church (Katoghike)</figcaption></figure> <p>Though there are inscriptions dating to the 1160s, <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Kathoghike,_Geghard" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:Kathoghike, Geghard">the main church "Kathoghike"</a> was built in 1215 under the auspices of the brothers Zakare and Ivane (of the <a href="/wiki/Zakarid-Mkhargrzeli" class="mw-redirect" title="Zakarid-Mkhargrzeli">Zakarid-Mkhargrzeli</a> family), the generals of Queen Tamar of Georgia, who took back most of Armenia from the Turks.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Katoghike_Church,_Geghard_monastery_(Geghardavank),_Kotayk,_Armenia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Katoghike_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg/220px-Katoghike_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Katoghike_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg/330px-Katoghike_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Katoghike_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg/440px-Katoghike_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5920" data-file-height="3947" /></a><figcaption>The main church, or "Kathogike"</figcaption></figure> <p>This is the main church of the complex, and traditional in most respects.

Carved on it are small triple arches with conchs of various shapes, connected at the top and at the bottom by a complicated and finely carved floral ornament. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_main_zhamatun_(1283)"><span id="The_main_zhamatun_.281283.29"></span>The main <i>zhamatun</i> (1283)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Geghard&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: The main zhamatun (1283)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca,_Geghard.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca%2C_Geghard.jpg/220px-Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca%2C_Geghard.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="143" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca%2C_Geghard.jpg/330px-Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca%2C_Geghard.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca%2C_Geghard.jpg/440px-Interior_de_capilla_en_la_roca%2C_Geghard.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1079" data-file-height="702" /></a><figcaption>Mausoleum of <a href="/wiki/Prince_Prosh_Khaghbakian" class="mw-redirect" title="Prince Prosh Khaghbakian">Prince Prosh Khaghbakian</a> (1283).<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The tombs are behind the twin arches.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The entrance to the Proshyan chapel is to the right.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>After <a href="/wiki/Prosh_Khaghbakian" title="Prosh Khaghbakian">Prosh Khaghbakian</a> acquired the monastery from the <a href="/wiki/Zakarids" class="mw-redirect" title="Zakarids">Zakarids</a>, he transformed it in the Proshyans’ family monastery and mausoleum.

These are also accessed through the gavit. The "<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Main_zhamatun,_Geghard_(1283)" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:Main zhamatun, Geghard (1283)">main zhamatun</a>" is a roughly square chamber cut into the rock, with deeply cut reliefs in the walls. Of interest is a rather primitive high relief on the northern wall, above the archways. In the center, there is a ram's head with a chain in its jaws; the chain is wound around the necks of two lions with their heads turned to the onlooker. Instead of the tail tufts there are heads of upward looking dragons — symbolic images gong all the way back to heathen times. Between the lions and below the chain there is an eagle with half-spread wings and a lamb in its claws. This is likely the coat-of-arms of the Proshian Princes. </p><p>The reliefs of the eastern wall are no less picturesque. The entrances to a small chapel and to Astvatsatsin church have rectangular <a href="/w/index.php?title=Platband&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Platband (page does not exist)">platbands</a> connected by two relief crosses. Cut on the portals of the chapel are sirens (fantasy harpy-like birds with women's crowned heads) and on the church walls there appear human figures with their elbows bent, wearing long attires and having nimbuses around their heads. These are probably members of the princely family who had these structures built. In its floor there are burial vaults. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Proshyan_chapel_(1283)"><span id="Proshyan_chapel_.281283.29"></span>Proshyan chapel (1283)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Geghard&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Proshyan chapel (1283)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:St._Astvatsatsin_Church,_Geghard_monastery_(Geghardavank),_Kotayk,_Armenia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/St._Astvatsatsin_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg/220px-St._Astvatsatsin_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="330" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/St._Astvatsatsin_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg/330px-St._Astvatsatsin_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/St._Astvatsatsin_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg/440px-St._Astvatsatsin_Church%2C_Geghard_monastery_%28Geghardavank%29%2C_Kotayk%2C_Armenia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3969" data-file-height="5954" /></a><figcaption>The "<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Chapel_of_the_Proshians_(1283)" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:Chapel of the Proshians (1283)">Chapel of the Proshyans</a>" in Rock-This is the rock-cut church past the <i>zhamatun</i>.

The plan, in the shape of a cross, is inscribed in a slightly extended square, and is covered by a dome on a square base in line with the building axis. The drum is linked to the base by means of curved vaulting. The East arm of the cross terminates in an apse while the others are square. In the four corners are small chapels on two levels with apses to the East and covered with barrel vaults. On the internal walls one can read the donators' inscriptions. The external walls are built with particular care, the stones are precisely cut and connected together. The building is characterised by a noticeable unity between the internal space and the external volume.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Geghard&rft.pages=6&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fdaa-06-geghard-1973%2Fpage%2Fn7%2Fmode%2F1up%3Fq%3Dprosh&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AGeghard" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-4"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-4">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Ara Baliozian Armenia observed – 1979 "Katoghike is the only church built in the usual way with outside walls and an outside dome. ...
