    Symphony of Stones

    Then visit the Symphony of Stones. It is near the village of Garni and is one of the most famous natural attractions in Armenia. The monument is made of large basalt stone columns that are shaped like hexagons and pentagons. These columns are very tall, reaching up to 50 meters. Their unique shape makes the place look like a giant stone organ.

    Located several miles from Garni, along the river Azat gorge to the northeast, on the amphitheatre-like slope of steep rocks, amidst severe and majestic nature is Geghard or Geghardavank monastery well-known for its rocky sights. The direction there is shown by the figure of a lioness on a high pedestal standing right at the abrupt turn after which you suddenly see the monastery.The half of the monastic complex is indeed cut from granite monolith. The other half consists of natural grottoes and caves which were used as cells.
