Garni Gorge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Garni Gorge is situated 23 km east of Yerevan, Armenia, just below the village with the same name, and is carved out by where the Goght river runs through. On a promontory above the gorge the 1st century AD Garni temple can be seen. Along the side of the gorge are cliff walls of well preserved basalt columns.
