Historical attractions in Armenia

Amberd Fortress
The Amberd Fortress was constructed between the 7th and 11th centuries and was the feudal seat of the Pahlevouni Princes. Set on the slopes of Mount Aragats, Armenia's tallest mountain at 4,090 metres, the fortress is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Its location protected it until it was sacked by Tamerlane in the 14th century. From the fortress there are excellent views of the Ararat Plain and in the distance Mount Ararat in Turkey, the legendary resting place of Noah's Ark.
