About Armenia

Armenia is not just a country — it’s an entire story woven from ancient legends and modern experiences.
The mysterious past of Armenia captivates the imagination, as it is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Armenian historical sources mention events that predate the rise of many well-known cultures.
It was here, in the year 301, that Christianity became the state religion, making Armenia the first Christian nation in the world. This monumental event left a profound mark on the country’s culture, architecture, and history. Many Armenian monasteries are not just places of worship, but full architectural complexes that serve as reminders of a rich and glorious past. One cannot overlook the famous khachkars — intricately carved stone crosses that are a unique form of Armenian art.
Armenia is also considered one of the birthplaces of winemaking. In 2010, archaeologists discovered the oldest known wine production facility in Areni, Armenia. Unique grape varieties and winemaking traditions are still passed down through generations.
Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is a vibrant and modern city that blends ancient traditions with contemporary lifestyle. While it preserves magnificent historical landmarks, it also buzzes with life — full of stylish restaurants, lively cafes, and energetic nightlife.
