A mausoleum and a fortress!
On this day, apart from excavations, you will visit the mausoleum of once ruling Areshkid dynasty and medieval fortress Amberd! This day will not be so busy in terms of travelling, but you will not miss anything and will learn a lot about the area on the slope of Mount Aragats.

Shamiram Excavation
Shamiram in Armenian means "Semiramida". It is not clear who first gave this exotic name to the village. Present-day inhabitants of Shamiram are descendants of fire-worshipping Kurds who fled here in 1917 from Turkey where they were persecuted. But people undoubtedly have settled here more than once, and the mighty walls of the ancient fortress rising not far from the village probably made such a strong impression on local shepherds that they attributed its construction to the legendary queen already in the Middle Ages.
