We rented a taxi to come here from Yerevan. Asked the driver to wait for about an hour. We explor the church complex. An hour was short. But if you just want to see the church and surrounding, it's Ok. Many kachkar stones here.

It may be a stunning cathedral before the renovation but at this moment the construction work ruins the view entirely.

Wonderful place to visit. It is the mother church of the Armenian Apostolic Church and is considered the oldest cathedral in the world. Holy Lance which is believed to pierced Jesus is here. Also a relic of Noah's Ark you can see here.

I was informed that this place is not interesting, while after visit I think it is. It always interesting see how people manage power and celebrate it. Compared to Vatican this is only crumbs, but even in a branch of Christianity where the church should be just a small link between man and his god, this building looks rich and powerful.

This huge complex is the center of the Armenian Church. The main church was built between the years 301-303. Spend a few hours here, wander around, and make sure to visit the museum.

The holiest site for the Armenians throughout the World. According to the legend, the stones were brought from Ararat. They were brought here on the shoulders of Tiridates III, the first Christian king of Armenia. It was built in 303 A.D. The inside of the church is covered with beautiful, lavish ornaments. Also, there is a cool museum inside.
P.S. try to find the scorpion at the entrance of the church. And also, the locals say that the face of Genghis Khan is depicted on the dome of the church (so the church wouldn't be destroyed by the Mongols).

Echmiadzin is the Holy See of Armenia, where the first cathedral was built here in AD 301. A visit to the complex is solemn and wonderful, even though for a non-believer. The complex is located in the middle of city and take about 30 min to arrive from Yerevan. It is good destination for a day trip from Yerevan, combined with the visit to Zvartnots Cathedral.
