Geghard Monastery, famous for its rock-cut churches and medieval architecture, is one of Armenia’s most iconic spiritual sites. This photo from the 1970s–1980s shows the monastery courtyard, where visitors and clergy are seen walking on the stone-paved grounds. Surrounded by mountains, the monastery stands as a symbol of the Armenian people’s spiritual strength and architectural mastery. Today, the site is a UNESCO World Heritage monument and an important destination for both pilgrimage and tourism.
