Explore Armenia's rich history with our Tour of Northern Armenia. Visit the Akhtala, Haghpat and Sanahin monasteries, each offering stunning architecture, ancient frescoes and breathtaking landscapes.
Akhtala Monastery
Akhtala Monastery is a stunning medieval complex located in the village of Akhtala, in the northern part of Armenia, near the border with Georgia. Founded in the 10th century, it is renowned for its unique architectural style and historical significance. The monastery is particularly famous for its well-preserved frescoes that cover the walls and ceilings of the church, depicting scenes from the Bible, saints, and angels. These vibrant frescoes are a rare example of Armenian medieval art and make Akhtala one of the most important cultural landmarks in the region. The complex includes a main church, a bell tower, and several smaller buildings, all set against the backdrop of the scenic Debed Canyon.

Haghpat Monastery
Haghpat Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Armenia's most significant medieval monasteries. Situated near the town of Alaverdi in the picturesque Debed River Gorge, Haghpat was founded in the 10th century and flourished as a center of learning and spirituality. The monastery complex consists of several buildings, including the main church, St. Nishan Church, a bell tower, and a refectory. Known for its exceptional architecture, Haghpat’s structures showcase the distinctive Armenian cross-domed style. The site also houses valuable manuscripts and artifacts. Its location offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the river valley, making it a serene place for reflection and exploration.

Like Haghpat, Sanahin Monastery is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the northern Armenian province of Lori. The monastery was founded in the 10th century and became an influential center of education and culture in medieval Armenia. Sanahin is known for its impressive cross-dome churches, including the Church of Saint Astvatsatsin and the Book Depository, where scribes meticulously copied manuscripts. The complex includes several other buildings such as a bell tower and a refectory. Sanahin’s remarkable architectural style and the historical importance of its scribal school contribute to its status as one of the most significant monastic sites in Armenia.

The Mikoyan Brothers Museum is located in the village of Sanahin in the Lori region of Armenia. It is dedicated to the famous Mikoyan brothers, Anastasios Mikoyan and Artem Mikoyan, who played significant roles in Soviet history.
