Brief Description
"The monastery of Geghard contains a number of churches and tombs, most of them cut into the rock, which illustrate the very peak of Armenian medieval architecture. The complex of medieval buildings is set into a landscape of great natural beauty, surrounded by towering cliffs at the entrance to the Azat Valley."
格加尔德修道院和上阿扎特山谷
"格加尔德修道院由许多教堂和坟墓组成，大部分建筑物都矗立在岩石之中，代表了亚美尼亚中世纪建筑的巅峰之作。这些中世纪建筑群周围环绕的便是阿扎特山谷(the Azat Valley)入口处的悬崖绝壁，与美丽的自然景观浑然一体。"
