Built in the 1st century and dedicated to Mihr, the god of the sun, the temple stands above the picturesque Azat River Gorge. Learn about the history of Garni and its role as a royal residence.
Next, head to the Geghard Monastery, one of Armenia’s most famous monastery complexes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Several of its churches and chambers were carved directly into the surrounding rock, giving the monastery its distinctive architecture and exceptional acoustics.
