This pearl of Armenian architecture used to be one of the exceptional universities in the Middle Ages. Goshavank is a unique monastic complex in its style, it includes all the merits of medieval architecture.

Haghartsin is a small monastery surrounded by the rich nature of Dilijan, beautiful trees and mountains. The monastery complex was built during the 10th-13th centuries.

The lake is surrounded by forests. Water in the lake is transparent, a little greenish. As the forests are very close to the shoreline, the massive trees, leaning to the lake, are reflected in the water. The name “Parz lich” literally means “clear lake”. There are many cosy restaurants and cafes in the area of the lake where you can spend your time, ride horses or organise a family picnic. This site is one of the most famous natural landmark of Dilijan.
