Erebuni

The germ cell of the capital city of Armenia is located on a mountain called Arin-Berd south of the city. Erebuni is a fortress created in 782 BC which makes Երևան one of the oldest cities in the world. Next to the mountain, you can today find a museum with a very impressive exterior design referring to the time the castle was built. Within you can learn about the excavations made here, see a lot of items found at this place and get more information about ancient Երևան.

After visiting the museum don’t forget to walk around the building. There you need to show your ticket once again and then you can climb the Arin-Berd mountain. On top, you can visit the remains of the ancient fortress but you will also have impressive views on the area surrounding you and especially this area of the city. Getting here is most easily possible by a taxi ride that takes about 20 minutes.
