**Goght** ([Armenian](/source/Armenian_language): Գողթ; formerly **Goghot**) is a village in the [Kotayk Province](/source/Kotayk_Province) of [Armenia](/source/Armenia), located on the right bank of the upper-[Azat River](/source/Azat_River). It is known from 13th-century manuscripts as **Goghot**. It is located near [Garni](/source/Garni) and sits along the road leading to [Geghard](/source/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](/source/Khachkar) are built into the exterior walls of the church, as well as at its [altar](/source/Altar). Goght sits overlooking a large gorge and upon a promontory on the other side is the 11th- to 13th-century monastery of [Havuts Tar](/source/Havuts_Tar). It may be reached by foot from the town, but more easily from [Garni](/source/Garni) via the [Garni Gorge](/source/Garni_Gorge). The community has a school, kindergarten, house of culture, and a library. The local economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, based primarily on grain farming, orchard cultivation, and cattle-breeding.[2][3]
