Country

Armenia

Armenia is an open-air museum of Christianity. As the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion, it's dotted with ancient monasteries in dramatic locations—perched on cliffs or carved into rocks. It's a land of mountains, apricots, and legendary hospitality. Mount Ararat dominates the skyline, a symbol of national pride despite being across the border.
