Overview

Have a nice day choosing this trip! Visit the 13th century Saghmosvank, which was built in the village of Saghmosavan near the deep gorge of Qasagh River. Overall, its excellent location provides additional beauty and comeliness to the monastery. In the 13th century it was one of the educational, cultural and spiritual centers of Armenia.

Discover Armenian Alphabet Monument in Artashavan. Giant stone letters are dedicated to the founder of Armenia's alphabet, Mesrop Mashtots. Find your first letter of the name!

Continue your tour to Amberd, which is an important historical site that survived and reached us from the 7-th century. Some say that it was built in the 11-13th centuries, attributing it to the near located church. Amberd means ‘fortress in the clouds’; the name is due to its location 2300 meters above sea level.

  • Saghmosavank Monastery
    Perched dramatically on the edge of the Kasagh River Gorge, Saghmosavank Monastery offers one of the most breathtaking views in Armenia. Built in the 13th century, this spiritual complex was once a center of learning and manuscript creation. The silence of the gorge and the distant outline of Mount Aragats create a serene atmosphere, inviting visitors to pause and reflect. Walking through its ancient stone walls, you can almost hear the echoes of centuries-old psalms that gave the monastery its name — “the Monastery of Psalms.”
  • Armenian Alphabet Monument
    Located at the foot of Mount Aragats near the village of Artashavan, the Armenian Alphabet Monument was built in 2005 to honor the creator of the Armenian alphabet, Mesrop Mashtots, and to celebrate the script’s 1,600th anniversary. The site features 39 giant stone letters, each beautifully carved from tufa rock, representing the unique Armenian alphabet. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Armenia’s highest peak, the monument offers not only cultural and historical significance but also a strikingly scenic view. Visitors can stroll among the letters, take photos, and reflect on the enduring legacy of the Armenian language—a cornerstone of national identity and heritage.
  • Amberd Fortress
    Perched on the southern slopes of Mount Aragats above the junction of the Arkashen and Amberd rivers, Amberd—literally “fortress in the clouds”—is one of Armenia’s most evocative medieval strongholds. Rising around 2,300 m above sea level, its basalt walls, watchtowers, and ruined halls date back to the 7th century, with major expansions by the Pahlavuni princes in the 10th–11th centuries. Just below the citadel stands the elegant Vahramashen (Surp Astvatsatsin) Church (1026), whose clean stone geometry frames sweeping views across volcanic plateaus.
