Top 10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Yerevan, Armenia
Long fought over by warring empires, the city of Yerevan survived centuries of foreign occupation, finally becoming independent with the fall of the Soviet Union. This capital city, a center of Armenian culture, has celebrated its freedom with a flurry of construction and a growing population. Despite this push forward, history survives in Yerevan - The Institute of Ancient Manuscripts houses books dating back to the 9th century, and the ruins of the Erebuni Fortress, built in 782 BC, still stand.

I was last at Zoravor Sourp Astvatsatsin for the New Year mass at midnight (December 2017/January 2018 - the blessing of the Poegrenate was a wonderful experience for someone who attends Armenians Chruch every Sunday. This is the longest surviving church in Yerevan and a truly holy site what with being the resting place of the apostle Ananias. It is a working church with a very solemn and powerful presence. You should not dismiss the beauty of the church though in case you do not think of yourself as particularly religious - this is still a magnificent little bit of the old Yerevan before the old apartment blocks came up in the area. The alter is a very pretty one and the inscriptions are beautiful from an aesthetic perspective...

Beautiful structure.worth visiting.its somewhat smaller comperd to other structures of the same kind in middle east but it has a very calm and relaxing and spiritual atmosphere. So in my opinion don't miss visiting this place.
