Introduction
ОглавлениеThe Geghard Monastery is an outstanding example of the pinnacle of Armenian medieval architecture (Fig. 1a).
The complex of medieval buildings contain a number of churches and tombs, some of which are cut into the natural rock (Fig. 1b to d, 3a).
In 1679 the monastery was badly damaged by an earthquake. Restoring the monastery for the purpose of tourism started in the first half of the 20th century. This includes the relatively new roof made of basalt in the 1980s.
