Khor Virap, located at the foot of Mount Ararat, near the border with Turkey. It is a place of pilgrimage, which is associated with the legend of Grigor Lusavorich (Grigor the Illuminator).

Right in front of you the symbol of Armenia, Mount Ararat, will appear before you from the closest distance and in all its glory.
