Goris Rock Amphitheater

Goris, Old Goris

The Rock Amphitheater of Goris is situated in the historical part of Old Goris, on the left bank of the Vararakn River. This place is a natural amphitheater made up of ravines and hills with numerous caves—both natural and man-made—which once served as dwellings. Views from its slopes include St. Ripsime Church and Melik's Chapel. Almost in the center of the ancient settlement stands the citadel of Dzagedzor.
