The pagan temple is dedicated to the sun god and rises almost unrealistically from the landscape. The temple was built in 66 AD, but was reduced to rubble by an earthquake in 1679 until it was faithfully rebuilt in the mid-1960s.

The structure is a peripteral temple on a leveled base and was probably dedicated to the god Mihr. The entablature is supported by 24 Ionic columns. Unlike other Greco-Roman temples, it is made of basalt (Wikipedia).

Known by its famous brand Noy, is a leading Armenian brandy production company in Yerevan, Armenia, currently owned by Gagik Tsarukyan's Multi Group Concern. It was founded in 1877 during the rule of the Russian Empire. The factory is located on the left bank of the Hrazdan River at the centre of Yerevan, occupying the area of the historic Erivan Fortress.

Nice place for a little walk. At night the street is nicely lit but unfortunately you can't see the rock walls.

The geological formation is incredible. The path is next to the basalt wall, it will be safe until a rock falls on someone's head. Today, entry was 300 drams. The structure they built for pedestrians is good, I believe it is possible to travel the route with a wheelchair too. I entered from the side that comes from the valley, going down the street next to the entrance to the Temple of the Sun (separate entrance). There is another entrance for those coming by car, and this one has a slightly steep slope. I didn't like the number of cars passing among the pedestrians, it seems to me that it will turn into a place for mass tourism.

The first traces of human settlement date back to the third millennium BC and are grouped around an easily defended loop of the Azat. In the 8th century BC, the Urartian king Argisti I conquered the area. The first written mention of a fortress towering over Garni comes from the Roman historian Tacitus in the middle of the first century BC. The remains were first excavated in 1909–1910, which Soviet archaeologists continued in 1949. The excavation revealed that the fortress in question was built much earlier as a summer residence for the Armenian royal families of the Orontids and Artaxids, probably in the 3rd century BC. The fortress of Garni (Latin Gorneas) was the last refuge of Mithridates, where he and his family were murdered by his stepson and nephew Rhadamistos. Several buildings could be identified within the fortified area, for example the two-story summer palace, a bath complex, a church from 897 AD, a cemetery and the most famous and best-preserved building, a Graeco-Roman temple of Ionic composition.

The best way to look at the canyon is from the viewing platform at the Garni Sun Temple - from here the view is fantastic.

One of the many drinking fountains in Armenia that can also be used for free. The water is safe to drink.

The Azat (Հայերեն. Ազատ) is a river in Armenia. Its source is on the western slope of the Geghama mountains. It flows through Garni, Lanjazat and Arevshat. It flows into the Aras near Artashat. See: https://en.advisor.travel/poi/Azat-River-3170

The monument is made up of huge symmetrical hexagonal and pentagonal basalt columns (almost 50 meters high), which appear to be handcrafted due to their extraordinary symmetry. These wonderful rocks were formed under high pressure conditions due to the cooling and crystallization of volcanic lava. These stones suspended against gravity resemble an organ, which explains why it is also called the “Basalt Organ”. The soundtrack is provided by the river that flows through the gorge and fills the splendor of the stone with the sound of water.
