Armenia - the land of ancient churches

by R-men - last update: Dec 1, 2004

Though during the time Armenia was robbed and conquered till this tiny piece of land is left from once huge Armenia, but still this tiny piece of land had tons of interesting things to see.

After the Great Flood the very first visitor of Armenia was Noah :-)

Here are several link to National Geographic Armenia report that are pretty interesing and useful:

In Khor Virap, Mt. Ararat in the background

Khor Virap

It's interesting why Virtualtourist doesn't have Khor Virap in its Armenia list. Khor Virap is one of the most popular places. Lots of religious history and legends are tied with this place. The view of Mt. Ararat is the best from this place.

 HI! Armen. Thanks for dropping by my Sydney page. There used to be a community of Armenians in Singapore. Sadly, only the Armenian Church is left today. Cheers!
