See murals depicting biblical scenes and tales of Armenian history, allowing you to step back in time and understand the profound religious and cultural importance of this site.

Next, head to Haghpat Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its architectural grandeur. Perched high above the Debed River gorge, the monastery has stood the test of time since the 10th century. The structures are adorned with intricate stone carvings and inscriptions that highlight the artistry of the medieval Armenian craftsmen.

After exploring the monasteries, take a break for a traditional Armenian lunch. Enjoy dishes that are rich in flavor and steeped in centuries of culinary tradition.
