The main monasteries and temples of Armenia
Armenia is the first country to officially adopt Christianity (at the beginning of the 4th century), but it is generally believed that Christians appeared here almost immediately after the death of Jesus. Until the year of 1921, the Biblical Mount Ararat was located on the territory of the country: Noah's Ark came to rest here after the Great Flood, and, according to legend, all the inhabitants of Armenia are descended from those who came from the Ark. This is the "Land of churches": monasteries and temples with a thousand-year history have been preserved here. Let's talk about the monastic complexes near the capital which are a must-see.
