Savior's Passage
Haghpat monastery complex was founded in the X century.
"The monastery has a complex plan. It consists of several buildings, some of which are connected by covered galleries like this one, called "The Savior's Passage", which connects the library depository and the St. N'shan church. It was also used as the monastery academy."
The gallery extends around the east end of the church and opens into the courtyard with a view to the mountains and village in the distance.
