Exploring the beauty of Haghartsin Monastery in the Tavush Province of Armenia | 4K resolution

“The playing eagle” - this is what the name Haghartsin means. According to the legend, this religious complex, located near the town of Dilijan in Tavush province, was built on a spot where an eagle used to soar from day to night, and that is why the complex got its name.

The construction of the monastery took place between the 10th and 13th centuries, mostly under the patronage of the most renowned Armenian royal dynasty - the Bagratouni. The architects that supervised the construction of the Haghartsin monastery are Khachatour of Taron - an Armenian poet, musician, and religious figure who has authored a large number of sharakans (Armenian religious songs), and later - Minas the Architect.

As a result, they created a cultural and religious treasure that withstood many environmental and historical challenges.
