Armenia is one of the centers of world civilization. The first settlements on the territory of modern Armenia appeared long before our era, as evidenced by numerous archaeological finds. The main political, economic and cultural center of the country is its capital, Yerevan.
Armenia was one of the first countries to declare Christianity as its national religion. It was here that the events of the biblical story about the Flood unfolded. Mount Ararat for its mention in the Book of Genesis began to be considered sacred – it was here that Noah’s ark stopped after a long voyage. Countless beautiful monasteries await the traveler in this ancient and amazing country.
