The temple was built in the 1st century. n. e, and the Armenian kings, having fallen in love with this place, turned it into their summer residence.
During the tour, you will also get acquainted with the rarest architectural monument - the Geghard monastery of the 4th century, partially carved into the adjacent rock.
"Geghard" in Armenian means "spear", which killed the crucified Christ and which was kept in Geghard for 5 centuries (now it is kept in the Etchmiadzin Museum).
The Geghard monastery complex is included in the UNESCO heritage list.
