Garni Temple - Armenia

By visiting the Garni Temple you’ll see remains of several monuments like the Garni temple itself still standing, the remains of the circular church of Garni, the remains of the palace and audience hall with a bathhouse and the city wall. Most of the building where almost completely ruined after several earthquakes… Also the Tiridates' inscription - which is a pretty big piece of stone with a Greek inscription which was discovered in 1945. The text is not complete readable but still it is giving a lot of information about the history of Garni (you can search more about it online) IG: edgarmesropyan #bucketlistreboot #armenia #garni #armenitravel #temple #armenian

Pagan Temple of Garni

The Temple of Garni #foodie is located in the village of Garni in Kotayk Province, Armenia, and it was once a pagan temple dedicated to the Armenian sun god Mihr. Built in the middle of the 1st century CE, the Temple of Garni remarkably survived the destruction of pagan temples following Armenia's conversion to Christianity in the 4th century CE, and countless invasions and earthquakes until its collapse in 1679 CE. After continuous excavations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries CE, the Temple of Garni was reconstructed between 1969-1975 CE. Today, it is the only free-standing Greco-Roman structure in Armenia and seen by many as a potent symbol of Armenia's classical past as well as its deep historical ties to the civilizations of Greece and Rome.

Pagan Temple of Garni

Garni Temple was beautiful. With a greco roman architecture style, the temple was a place to worship the fire god. It has the oldest mosaic in the world right next to a hot spring bath. Our tour guide also drove us to a nearby mountain scape, which was amazing. Garni Temple is one of my favorite places. The Location of the Temple is magical. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to visit Armenia. It's not far from the city center. This is an incredible Pagan Temple which also served as the summer retreat of the ancient Armenian king. Today, it is thronged by tourists from all walks of life and is undoubtedly one of the three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Armenia along with the Geghard Monastery.#nationalpark
