Mt. Ararat

Khor Virap Monastery (Armenia)

Althoug the day wa not so clear, it was possible to see the Mt.Ararat summit (5.137 m.) from Khor Virap Monastery, near the Armenian-Turkish border.
Mount Ararat in Judeo-Christian tradition is associated with the "Mountains of Ararat" where according to the book of Genesis, Noah's ark came to rest. It also plays a significant role in Armenian nationalism and irredentism.
