Khor Virap

Khor Virap, located at the foot of Mount Ararat, near the border with Turkey. It is a place of pilgrimage, which is associated with the legend of Grigor Lusavorich (Grigor the Illuminator). According to church tradition, Grigor was imprisoned by the order of Tsar Trdat III, convicted of practicing Christianity and spending 13 years in it. Those who wish can descend into the dungeon, which has a depth of 6 m and a diameter of 4.4 m. Right in front of you the symbol of Armenia, Mount Ararat, will appear before you from the closest distance and in all its glory.
