Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and one of the oldest cities in the world, was founded in 782 BC, making it 29 years older than Rome. Its story begins with the fortress of Erebuni, built by King Argishti I and today the ancient ruins coexist in harmony with modern buildings and lively streets. The city is poetically called the "pink" capital, since most of its buildings are made of volcanic tuff in warm shades of pink that glow beautifully at sunset.

On the hill of Arin Berd, where the wind whispers stories from millennia ago, stand the ruins of Erebuni Fortress, the cradle of modern Yerevan. It was founded in 782 BC by order of the Urartian king Argishti I, built to guard the borders of a mighty kingdom and to control vital trade routes. Because of its ancient age, Yerevan is as old as historical events like the founding of Rome and the first Olympic Games in Ancient Greece.

Обзорную экскурсию по Еревану рекомендую брать индивидуальную. У нас был супер гид - Давид! Учитель истории, играл актером в театральных постановках. Соответственно очень интересная подача информации. Как будто слушаешь увлекательную историю. На каждый вопрос - обстоятельное пояснение. Видно, что человек влюблен с свой город и в свою работу. Давид, если читаете этот отзыв, то привет Вам из Питера! Также отмечу водителя Армана. Провез быстро и аккуратно. В целом отличная организация, всем рекомендую!
