Home To First Church Built In The World
Speaking of Christianity, that leads us to our next fact. Armenia has tons of beautiful, ancient churches, and in fact, they are home to the first ever church! Indeed, Holy Etchmiadzin was the world’s first church and it dates to the early fourth century. No wonder it’s one of the most visited pilgrimage sites on the planet. Recently, it’s been under construction, but still a site not to miss when visiting the country.

Oldest Winery
Are you a wine drinker? Great news for you then…Armenia is actually one of the oldest wine producing nations! Many say that’s due to all of its fertile valleys by Mt Ararat. The valleys have been the home to best quality grapes for centuries. In fact, in 2011, archaeologists found what they claim is the oldest winery in the world. It’s located in a cave by a village called Areni.
