The most famous place of Stepanavan is Dendropark, a unique park, where a natural forest landscape has been reshaped into a Forest Park. It is home to a wide variety of trees: both native and acquired from other botanic gardens. California Sequoia of the park is of particular value․ #summervacation #staycation

The World Heritage Site, Haghpat Monastery

The Haghpat Monastery was founded in 976 and was roughly completed in 991. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1996. UNESCO commented on these two monasteries as follows: During the prosperous period of the Kiurikian dynasty (approximately from the 10th to the 13th century), these two Byzantine monasteries in the Tumanian region were important academies. The Sanahin Monastery is world-renowned for its annotations and calligraphy school. These two monastery complexes, blending Byzantine church architectural style and local traditional architectural style of the Caucasus, have formed their own unique artistic style, representing the pinnacle of Armenian religious architecture.
