Haghartsin is a medieval Armenian monastery nestled near Dilijan in the Tavush Province of Armenia, constructed between the tenth and thirteenth centuries. The complex exemplifies Armenian architectural tradition and comprises three churches—the oldest being St. Gregory's, alongside St. Stephen's and the largest, St. Astvatsatsin (St. Mary's)—together with a gavit (a vaulted hall typical of Armenian monasteries) and a refectory. Designated a cultural heritage monument in Armenia, the monastery represents a significant achievement of medieval Armenian ecclesiastical architecture.
