• Tatev Monastery is located in the middle of Syunik Province in South Armenia, 30 km from the town of Goris near the village of the same name – Tatev, on the right bank of the River Vorotan. It was founded in 895-906. The Monastery is one of the intellectual centers of medieval Armenia. Its strategically beneficial location on a foreland, created by the deep, rocky slopes of the river, prospered to the creation of a powerful defensive complex. Gavazan (the pendulous column), built in 904 in the courtyard, near the living quarters of the Monastery, refers to the number of unique works of architectural-engineering art of Armenia. It is octahedral, folded out of shallow stones, column with the height of 8 meters. Under the impact of seismic soil fluctuations and even from a simple touch of a human arm, the column, due to articulation, bent and returned to its initial position. 

• Devil’s Bridge is below Tatev Monastery, in the 500-meter gorge of the River Vorotan, is located of the wonders of nature of Armenia – ‘’Devil’s Bridge’’.  For millenniums water and wind had been creating this wonder of nature, grinding and slotting the frozen lava. The width of this natural bridge, by which is passing the automobile road to Tatev Monastery, is 60 meters, the length is 30 meters. Not far from the bridge you can plunge into warm healing springs, surrounded by stalactites of bizarre shadows.
