It was my first time visiting this beautiful church, because of wedding. Inside and surrounded areas were clean and well maintained. It was beautiful sunny day, even though little windy, but the view of canyon and surroundings were breathtaking, one of the best places to visit.

Its one of the best places to visit in Armenia. The church of 13 century with panoramic view is one of the many sightseeings you can have outside Yerevan. Its 37km away from Yerevan and you can reach there in 40-50min.

One of the most popular monastery close to Yerevan (20 min. away ). Historical place with great view on canyon. Highly recommended for visiting especially in Summer and autumn...

This place - Savhmosavank has several terrain features - deep ravine, some trees, hills, fields to the horizont, mountains and rocks. The castle is falling apart, but you can see the main structure.

Small, quiet monastery on the edge of a gorge. The view is absolutely breathtaking. In the distance you can even spot the Hovhannavank monastery.

Apart from the monastery, the most beautiful one is the sceneries around this area. Excellent place for photography with variations of colours in lawns and trees which make the photos more better

One of the most beautiful and mysterious monasteries in Armenia. The nature here also incredible. It is must see place in Armenia. It is not far from Yerevan, you will need about 40 minutes to reach Saghmosavank. What is good, in 10 minutes, even closer to Yerevan, another great monastery Ohanavank.

The name of the church literally means Monastery of Psalms. It is one of the top-notch churches in Armenia. I really think the tourists travelling in Armenia should visit this place. There is a canyon very close to the church. The church is situated right on a cliff. The landscape here is awesome and you can admire it for hours.P.S. Take a look at the columns inside the church. You can see that 3 of them look the same, but not the fourth one.

An amazing place in energy, strength, tranquility. Beautiful edges and canyon nearby. Very picturesque views open. The canyon reminded me of the Grand Canyon, only a little less. But also very impressive and breathtaking.

Church is very beautiful, but next to the Great Rift Valley is simply shocking. Natural scenery is simply perfect. There are hills and valleys church. Not many people. Perfect recommendation

Review №84

The combination of the antiquity of the monastery and the magnificence of the surrounding nature. I would call it a church, because in my understanding a monastery is a place where, among other things, monks live. On the territory I have not seen those, maybe in the adjacent village? There are several halls, beautiful chandeliers and stone carving in the church.

Church over the cliff. All in the Armenian traditions. There are gazebos for family holidays. Great view of the gorge.

On the eastern outskirts of the Saghmosavan village, in a picturesque gorge, rises the Saghmosavank monastery complex. The monastery was founded in 1221.Once there was a major educational center, which had a rich library, a university.Already at the entrance to the monastery, one can feel the beauty and grandeur of the temple. There are fantastic panoramas here.A place where silence and virgin nature bring a person closer to God ...If you are in Armenia, be sure to visit Saghmosavank!

Very beautiful monastery complex! A stunning canyon just behind the monastery, but you have to be very careful not to fall down. A very steep slope, they say there were precedents. An amazing sense of freedom! Definitely a must visit!

The psalm monastery Saghmosavank is an eye-catcher on the steep Kasakh-Canyon gorge, which was formed by the river Kasagh. Their silhouettes dominate the neighboring villages and rise against the background of the mountains crowned by Mount Aragats.Almost we had the opportunity to take part in a wedding in the monastery, which in Armenia for weddings is a typical appearance. The monastery was superbly restored after the damage of the earthquake of 1988 and is back in full beauty.

It is only in Armenia that it is possible to build a church over the gorge. Strong energy soars in the air, permeates you and seems to tear you off the ground.
