It's an incredible place. And although it's a long way to get there, I definitely wanted to get here. And I was absolutely not mistaken. It's a stunningly beautiful place. And on the way you will see the peaks of Mount Ararat.

It is one of the buildings worth seeing in this region, the roads are beautiful and there is no parking problem. Just walking around the empty rooms of the palace does not give pleasure after a while. It would be perfect if at least a few rooms and halls were designed according to the period and the exhibition was created.
