Saghmosavank Monastery, Armenian Alphabet Alley, Armenia Wine factory, ArmAs wine factory
1. Saghmosavank Monastery
30-40 min
2. Armenian Alphabet Alley
10-20 min
Designed by architect Jim Torosyan, this masterpiece is more than a memorial – it is a stone poem, where every letter feels like a living fragment of national history. Thirty‑nine massive characters stand against the mountain backdrop, glowing in warm tones and adorned with traditional Armenian motifs.
The Armenian alphabet, created in 405 AD through the genius of Mesrop Mashtots, changed the destiny of the nation by opening the path to translating sacred texts and strengthening Christianity. The original 36 letters were later joined by three more, and this graceful row of symbols has served the Armenian people for over fifteen centuries.
Walking among these monumental letters, visitors feel the breath of history and the power this script represents. Travelers come for rare photographs, sweeping landscapes, and the chance to touch the cultural roots of an ancient people. Perfectly blending with the rugged surroundings, the memorial feels like an extension of nature itself, a reminder that language and culture are eternal guardians of memory.
