It was destroyed in 1679 by an earthquake. Parts, fragments of graceful columns and wall stones were spread around the temple. It is supposed that the temple was dedicated to Mithra, the God of the Sun. The temple of Garni is included in UNESCO World Heritage List. 60 minutes
Charent's Arch, Garni, Armenia Charents Arch is located near Yerevan, between the pagan temple of Garni and Geghard Christian monastery complex in the village of Vokhchaberd.

The monastery complex Geghard is included in UNESCO World Heritage List. 60 minutes

It is said that this natural monument is the result of the collapse of the volcanic rocks.The monument consists of huge paradoxically symmetric hexagon and pentagon basalt columns (nearly 50 meters high). These stones hanging against the gravity resemble an organ, which explains why it is also referred to as “Basalt Organ Pipes”.

Our driver Tigray was fantastic and very helpful. It was a safe and enjoyable journey. The car was very clean inside and out. The places we got to go to were beautiful, both naturally and historically and Tigray was kind enough to share details about the sites and Armenia in general. There was no hassle or issue. 5 stars!
