Be sure to visit the monastery refectory after watching, you will be pleasantly surprised and very tasty fed and watered!
View of Ararat in good weather
The cathedral was built in 301 in connection with the adoption of Christianity by Armenia at the state level.Legend has it that CHRIST appeared to Gregory Lusavorich and indicated the place for the construction of the Temple.
For the duration of the visit to the reconstruction. We visited the Echmiadzin Museum. A very interesting tour. All the relics of Armenia in Echmiadzin
an incredibly beautiful place with a view of the mountain
But why they put up a big fence there that hides the view of Ararat is not clear
Before reaching the monastery, on the way to the right, I recommend eating with the best view of Ararat

I traveled from Yerevan by minibus. The driver explained everything and told me where to get off and where to go, what to see. Very friendly people explained and told everything in the temple. I got into the service at the Gayane temple. I was a little surprised that all the notes (about repose and about health) are free. You only buy candles.
Pros: there is supposedly a spear used to finish off Jesus and a piece of wood from Noah's Ark. A cheap restaurant, an average check of 600 rubles per person.
Cons: the rest of the territory and the museum are far-fetched exhibits that do not have any historical value.
The spiritual capital of Armenians all over the world. The residence of the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Catholicos, is located here. A huge well-groomed territory!
The city itself is famous for its large number of churches. Quietly, calmly , mentally... Be sure to visit !
A place that will be interesting to everyone, regardless of religion or even attitude to faith. An opportunity to touch the history of Armenia and the history of the Armenian Orthodox Church and see a lot in a short time. Even if there is no guide, the place is interesting. I definitely advise you to visit the refectory and have lunch.

It's a beautiful place. Clean, well maintained, calm. There is even a restaurant on site, which is amazing.
A must have if you come to Armenia. The treasury impresses with the facts. But, most importantly, prayers are heard from here in heaven

The main cathedral of the AAC . The Cathedral houses a Copy of Longinus, who was hunted by a possessed corporal. The Armenian alphabet made of gold is also kept in the cathedral!
The main spiritual center of Armenia.Very beautiful.A number of sacred relics of the Orthodox world are kept in the museum next to the residence of the Catholicos.
