Armenia's Crown Jewels

This collection spans Armenia's rich architectural heritage, from the 4th-century foundations of Echmiadzin Cathedral and the cave-carved chambers of Geghard Monastery to the 20th-century Soviet-neoclassical Republic Square. It highlights religious landmarks like the cliffside Tatev Monastery and Khor Virap, where Christianity was first adopted as a state religion. In Yerevan, the list includes the massive Cascades complex, the 18th-century Blue Mosque, and the Ararat Brandy Museum, showcasing the nation's diverse history and craftsmanship.
