The Cathedral of Ejmiatsin, founded in 303, is the official residence of the Catholics of Armenia. Ejmiatsin is a sacred place for Armenian people and the spiritual heart of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Garni Temple
Take a trip to Garni. This Pagan Temple was built in the 1st century AD. It is the only temple that has been preserved from the Pagan times in Armenia. It was devoted to the god Mihr, who was the god of cleanness. In 1679 it was destroyed by an earthquake. In 1975, the Temple was restored.
Symphony of Stones
Drive to the Symphony of Stones, located near the village of Garni, not far from the ancient Garni Temple. It is a stunning basalt rock formation that has been shaped by nature over centuries. The rocks in the gorge have taken on various columnar shapes, resembling a natural orchestra of standing stones, which has led to the name “Symphony of Stones.”
Geghard Monastery
Then we will continue our trip to Geghard Monastery. Its name came from the legendary lance that was used to pierce the body of Christ. It has been kept here for centuries. Though the exact foundation of the monastery is unknown, the present complex was built in the mid-13th century.
Return to Yerevan
Visit fruit market “Gum”
