• Saint Hripsime Church - The St. Hripsime Church was constructed over the tomb of a Christian nun named Hripsime, who escaped the Roman Empire and was martyred in Armenia. This remarkable structure has remained intact since its construction in 618 A.D., making it one of the oldest surviving churches globally.
• Saint Gayane Church - Just a 5-minute drive away is the next destination: the 7th-century St. Gayane Church. Gayane was Hripsime’s caretaker and shared in her tragic destiny.
• Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin - Armenian Apostolic Church (Armenian Orthodox Church) - Visitors can witness the world’s first Christian Cathedral – the Holy Ejmiatsin, constructed between 301-304.

Legend has it that Jesus Christ descended at the location where the Dissention Altar is now situated, prompting Gregory the Illuminator to commission the church’s construction.

The cathedral stands as a symbol of Armenian national identity and heritage, showcasing the nation’s profound Christian roots.

• Zvartnots Temple - The Zvartnots Cathedral, now in ruins, is a 7th-century centrally planned aisled tetraconch Armenian cathedral, built under the direction of Catholicos Nerses the Builder from 643-652.

Legend suggests that the name “Zvartnots” translates to “celestial angels,” inspired by the belief that angels once guarded the temple.

It is part of the UNESCO heritage list. In fact, all the churches featured in the tour are recognized as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites.
