Ararat Province

Armenia

Ararat Province, Armenia connects to 2965 places across 11 topics through 43 Bunkabop connections, weighted toward history, nature, and government. It shares the most ties with Armenia as a whole and with Yerevan, its neighbor to the north. The province holds two former capitals of Armenia, Artaxata and Dvin. Khor Virap monastery, the site of Gregory the Illuminator's 13-year imprisonment, sits here at the closest point to Mount Ararat within Armenian borders. Religion and military history add further threads, including 1919 uprisings in the region's Azerbaijani-inhabited areas.
