Located in an open area, on the road to Mount Aragats, in the Aragatsotn region. There you will have a great opportunity to take a walk in the fresh air and take a memorable photos near the first letter of your name.
The medieval Lori fortress is located near the city Stepanavan, in the Lori region. Since the 10th century, for many centuries it defended the surrounding villages and was an outpost of that region, after which it was destroyed in the 13th century by the Mongol-Tatar invasion. After the invasion, the people gradually left the fortress and in the end remained only the ruins. Inside are interesting ruins of an ancient defensive structure that you will have the opportunity to research.
Odzun Monastery is located on a high slope of the same name village, near the administrative center of this region, the city Alaverdi. Built in the 6th century AD and is one of the most ancient Monasteries in Armenia. In 2014 was made restoration of the temple, after which the Monastery became one of the most visited places by tourists. Also in the Odzun village, which is one of the largest in the Republic, you will have a great opportunity to take a look at the village life.
