Haghartsin (Armenian: Հաղարծին, romanized: Hałarcin) is a medieval monastery located near the town of Dilijan in the Tavush Province of Armenia.

At that time, the Monastery Church of St. Gregory (Surb Grigor) was built, and simultaneously a žamatun was added on the western side.

Ivane left a dedicatory inscription following the death of his brother in 1213:[4] God loved my head's crown of glory — Zak‘aria — and called to Himself the one who was courageous.

[4] The 13th-century Armenian historian Kirakos Gandzaketsi mentions that Khachatur of Taron, the renowned musician who served as the abbot of Haghartsin, attended the consecration of one of the churches of Nor Getik, which occurred in 1194.

The sixteen-faced dome is decorated with arches, the bases of whose columns are connected by triangular ledges and spheres, with a band around the drum's bottom.

The sculptural group of the church's eastern facade differs in composition from the similar bas-reliefs of Sanahin, Haghpat, and Harich.

The faces, with their long whiskers, luxuriant combed beards, and large almond-shaped eyes, are also executed in different manners.

It is a square building, with roofing supported by four internal abutments, and with squat octahedral tents above the central sections, somewhat similar to the Armenian peasant home of the glkhatun type.

According to legend, this was swung open and shut in the past and monastery riches were hidden inside at times of war and invasion.

In 2011, Haghartsin Monastery underwent a major renovation by Armenia Fund with a donation from Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, ruler of Sharjah.

[5] Today the complex is reachable by a paved road with a large parking area, a gift shop, a bakery, and other facilities on site.
