Castles in Armenia
A landlocked country in the Caucasus, Armenia's heritage sites span medieval monasteries and 19th-century mansions alike. Haghpat and Sanahin, two 10th-century monasteries in the north, form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Akhtala Monastery nearby is known for its surviving medieval frescoes. In the same Lori Province region, Aramyants Castle — a European-style mansion built for the industrialist and philanthropist Mikael Aramyants — now operates as a historical museum.
