Erebuni Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve (Էրեբունի պատմահնագիտական արգելոց-թանգարան)
The first thing worth seeing are the ruins of Erebuni. The city was founded by Argishti I, King of Urartu, in 782 BC as a stronghold for the Urartians in the Ararat Valley. It is located on the Arin-Berd Hill (Aryan Hill, yes). There is a museum nearby that you can also visit.
