The Arch of Charents, a poetic gateway to Armenia’s soul! This monumental arch was built in 1957 and dedicated to one of Armenia’s greatest poets, Yeghishe Charents. While the arch itself is minimalist in design, the real magic is in the view: on clear days, you get a breathtaking panoramic sweep of Mount Ararat.

It is said that this natural monument is the result of the collapse of the volcanic rocks. The monument consists of huge paradoxically symmetric hexagon and pentagon basalt columns (nearly 50 meters high). These stones hanging against the gravity resemble an organ, which explains why it is also referred to as “Basalt Organ Pipes”.
