⛪ KHOR VIRAP | The Monastery Where Christianity Began | Armenia
Standing just meters from the Turkish border, with the majestic Mount Ararat towering directly behind it, Khor Virap is one of the most important and photographed sites in all of Armenia. This is the birthplace of Armenian Christianity, the very spot where a king was cured of madness, and where an entire nation changed its faith forever.
