Goght

Goght (Armenian: Գողթ; formerly Goghot, also Romanized as Goght’ and Gokht) is a village in the Kotayk Province of Armenia, known from 13th century manuscripts as Goghot. It is located near Garni and sits along the road leading to Geghard Monastery. The village has a small ruined basilica from the 17th or 18th century located straight down a dirt road from the main square. Some khachkars are built into the walls of the church. Goght sits above a large gorge and on a hill on the other side, the monastery of Havuts Tar may be seen. It may be reached by foot from the town, but more easily from Garni.
