The constructions of the Garni fortress are successfully inscribed in the surrounding nature. The fortress is located in a picturesque mountainous area. Behind the pagan temple, the platform narrows and abruptly breaks off to the river. From here, from a 100-meter height, a gorgeous view of the gorge of the Azat River, orchards, colorful fields and pink rocky spurs of the Geghama Range opens. In addition to the pagan temple, which was preserved thanks to the sister of Tsar Trdat (she did not convert to Christianity and decided to remain a pagan), here you can see the remains of a fortress and a royal palace with Hellenistic mosaics, as well as a 3rd-century bathhouse.→
