You will learn everything about Armenia

Like the stones dotting the landscape, Armenian churches and monasteries are often situated in beautiful, awe-inspiring natural surroundings. Because of their remote location, they are frequently undamaged and bear silent witness to the craftsmanship and creativity of famous Armenian builders and architects.

Although Armenia’s surface area is only about 30,000 km², its geography is surprisingly varied. Plains filled with fruit trees, alpine meadows overflowing with thousands of flowers and fragrant herbs, lakes lying atop high mountains, green mountains covered with hardwood trees, snow-capped rocky mountains and hills glittering with black volcanic obsidian can be found side by side.

The Mediterranean atmosphere in the bustling capital city Yerevan offers a stark contrast to the tranquillity of the villages in the countryside. Armenia was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as the state religion, having done so in 301 A.D. Many peoples have fought their wars in this strategically important region, situated between Asia and Europe and once part of the Silk Road and the pilgrimage routes to the Holy Land.

According to the legend, when God created the world and divided land among all nations, the Armenians were having a barbecue (ghorowats), so when they arrived, it was too late to find good land. The only place left was a country full of stones.
