Become an element of harmony! Start the day from Harichavank, a monastery dating back to the seventh century. The monastery is situated in Harich village from where the name of the monastery comes from. The spiritual harmony of the monastery fills your soul and you start a conversation with God.
Know how they taste! We continue the way to the second capital city of Armenia, Gyumri. First, have an incredibly delicious lunch at Cherkezi Dzor. Taste Armenian mouthwatering meals here and at the same time enjoy the wonderful nature around the restaurant.
Surp Astvatsatsin or Yot Verk (Seven Wounds) Church
Know how they have built! After lunch continue the trip to the city centre and get to know one of the oldest parts of Armenia, which is called Kumayri. In this district, you will see some buildings dating back even to the fifth century, to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. You will be amazed by the beauty of the style which has existed in Gyumri long ago. Going down the main street you will come to Yot Verq (Seven Wounds) church. Earlier it was a chapel erected by Kamsarakan princes, where the icon “The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary” was kept. That’s why the church built later was named Yot Verq (meaning “seven wounds”). The interior of the church is generously decorated with paintings.
