Yerevan's natural environment

Yerevan is built on a mountain with beautiful natural scenery around it. Mount Ararat and Mount Aragas are covered with snow and there are thousands of ice peaks. Mount Ararat is the characteristic of the Armenian nation, and the pattern on the national emblem of Armenia is Mount Ararat. Yerevan is located on the Razdan River in southwest Armenia, more than 20 kilometers away from the Turkish border. In the north and south of the city, there are Ararat Mountain and Aragaz Mountain, which are rich in colored granite and marble. Most of Yerevan's houses are built with stones on the mountain, so Yerevan's houses are colorful. Yerevan's stone carving art is also famous. The new city is built on the mountain, and the green hills are shining with splendid houses, and the scenery is very beautiful.

There are two cathedrals in Yerevan, which were built in the century AD and from the century AD to the century AD respectively. There is a famous tourist attraction in the suburbs, namely Aichimiajin, the ancient capital of Armenia. It is said that it was built in the th century and is the residence of all Armenian archbishops. There are Aichi Palace Cathedral built by the first archbishop of Armenia, Enligetana, in 2000, and Lipsime Cathedral built in 2000, not far from Aichi Palace, which is the remains of Zwart Cathedral built in 2000. This multi-storey cathedral, with a cross-shaped dome outside, is richly decorated and occupies an important position in Armenian architectural art in the whole Middle Ages. Kilometers away from Yerevan, there are ruins of Ghani Castle from BC to AD. It used to be the summer palace of the king of Armenia, and the cylindrical church in the castle is the only relic of Armenian culture in the late Greek culture and the century AD.
