Overview

The tour begins at Khor Virap Monastery – with the most breathtaking views of the Biblical Mt. Ararat.
Echmiadzin Cathedral (literal translation: The descent of the Only Begotten) is the center of the Armenian Apostolic church originally built in the early 3rd century BC and a number of sources also state that Etchmiadzin is the oldest official Christian church in the entire world.
The church of St. Hripsime is dedicated to one of the 40 virgins who escaped from the Roman empire. Standing largely intact since its construction, the church has been widely admired for its architecture , considered a masterpiece of classical Armenian architecture, it has influenced many other Armenian churches.
The ruins of Zvartnots Tample represent a truly unique - 3 storied circular domed architectural masterpiece. The name Zvartnots is derived from Old Armenian meaning a host of angels - a dwelling place of angels.
All these churched together are included in the UNESCO world Heritage sights.
