Sightseeing Tsakhkadzor
The monastery complex of Kecharis is situated in Tzakhkadzor (Kotayk district). A healthy climate and picturesque scenery - forested mountain slopes and blossoming valleys - provided favorable conditions for building there a settlement in which remnants of ancient structures have survived. In the 11th century the settlement was a possession of the Princes Pakhlavuni who founded a monastery there, the construction of which continued till the middle of the 13th century.
