Yerevan is the most remote point in Europe, it is a unique example of the fusion of European and Asian cultures for many people. During the tour we will see the Republic Square - the central town square in Yerevan. The architect of the heart of Yerevan is Alexander Tamanian, who presented the project of the main square of the capital in 1924. There are 5 main buildings in the perimeter of the square, namely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, A five star Hotel Marriott Armenia, the building of Parliament - the highest legislative body, the building of the Central Post Office of Armenia and the History Museum of Armenia.
In addition to the mentioned above, we will visit the main architectural pride of Yerevan - the Yerevan Cascade. The cascade is located in the central part of the city and reminds us of the multi-storey tower of Babylon, which leads to the main symbol of victory - the obelisk. The cascade is covered with many historical details, originated from the ancient Armenian settlement - Urartu.

Day 3. Breakfast at the hotel. Tour Echmiadzin - Zvartnots. Today we will visit the starting point of Armenian civilization. Echmiadzin Cathedral dates back to 303, and while translating from the Armenian language, it means the place where the Son of God came. Armenia was the first country in the Caucasus region, which adopted Christianity and declared it the state religion in 303. Echmiadzin Complex is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Despite the fact, that it has been demolished for several times, the Armenian people have managed to bring this ancient building to our time and preserve its original image. The interior painting of the central temple of the complex deserves to be mentioned, which has a great impact on all the visitors of this ancient place.
On the way we will visit another unique UNESCO World Heritage Site - the ruins of the Zvartnots Temple. While translating from the Old Armenian, the word "dzvartno" also means the temple of free angels. The construction of the temple dates back to 641 - 643 and its architecture harmoniously combines elements of Armenian, Greek, Roman and Byzantine architecture. Unfortunately, the temple was damaged by an earthquake in the 10th century and only its ruins have survived up today, but even the ruins of this magnificent temple make a huge impression on all visitors. There are lots of images of pomegranate, vine and various geometric figures on the fragments of the temple that have been survived. We will also see the ancient sundial there. All the mentioned is another clear proof of the high level of development of the Armenian civilization.
