Armenia is a small European country that was part of the Soviet Union. However, you will have

for tourist. Now I want to introduce some of the beautiful places in my country Armenia. They
are Yerevan, Echmiadzin and Lake Sevan.
One fantastic place to visit in my country is Yerevan. Yerevan, the capital of Armenia is a big and
beautiful city. It has a population of about one million people; also, it is a
mixture of ancient old, and new. Yerevan was built on tragedy and
dreams. The heart of Yerevan of the city is Republic Square. In the centre of the square towering over it stands a magnificent building. It houses the Museum of History of Armenia and
the National Art Gallery
They are all built in the style of national architecture. In front of the
National Gallery there is a beautiful fountain where the
townspeople like to walk in hot summer evenings. This fountain is
continued by a series of fountains in the park across the square. Also,
Republic Square is the hub of major avenue and streets. The city is climb to the top of the hills, you will see a sweeping panorama. One of them is the Swallow's Fortress park. In the same park you can see the pride of
the townspeople-Sports and Concert gall that graces the hill.
It is an impressive building with a beautiful collonade.
The Opera-House overlooks a green are of parks, too. In one of the parks
of Yerevan in a quiet corner is the Pantheon of the distingnished
people of Armenia. In addition, Yerevan is a city of students. There
are more than 20 higher educational institutions.
Above all, Yerevan is a very hospitable city. Nowhere in the world you find such traditions of receiving guests as in Transcaucasia. Another fantastic place to visit in my country Armenia is Echmiadzin. Echmiadzin
is situated to the south-west of Yerevan in the fruited Ararat valley.
This region of Armenia is called the garden of Armenia. The fruits and
vegetables of the Ararat valley ripened by the sun have their own
unique taste. Echmiadzin is a pretty cosy town with homes made of tufa. You can see a wealth of attractions
here but the Mother cathedral is the chief one. Here is located the
Armenian Apostolic Church. For example, the main part of ancient
cathedral was built in the 5th century. It has been rebuilt several times and bears marks of different periods. Lost in the fruited valley is
another attraction of Echmiadzin; the church of Holy Virgin Hripsime. Legend has that the pagan king wanted to marry her, but she
prefered to die.

Echmiadzin every yearThird fantastic place to visit is our
fascinating Lake Sevan. Lake Sevan is one of the most exciting sights in Armenia. It's beauty is unique and majestic. The pure air and sandy beaches attract holiday makers.
