About Lake Sevan
Lake Sevan stretches 78 kilometres across Armenia—the world's highest freshwater lake at 1,900 metres, its azure waters surrounded by mountains. Sevanavank Monastery crowns a peninsula jutting into the lake; the buildings' roofless chambers allow sky to pour through. The lake's sacred geometry and mountain backdrop create spiritual power.
