About Yerevan
Yerevan rises at the foot of Mount Ararat (visible from the city's viewpoints)—this sacred Armenian peak just beyond the Turkish border defines Armenian identity. The city's basalt buildings glow crimson at sunset; cascading fountains and wide plazas create Soviet-era monumentality. Armenia's ancient Christian culture permeates the capital.
