AGHOUDI - among the monuments of Armenian architecture, between the 5th and 7th centuries, steles and funeral structures deserve special mention. The 6th century mausoleum of Aghoudi arouses more curiosity and admiration than any other monument of the same kind.
SUNIVANK - this monument of Syunik is classified with the Armenian central cupola's churches. It was built in basalt during the second half of the 7 th century.
OUGHTASAR – on the mountainous heights of Syunik in Zangezur, 3,000 m above sea level, rises an ancient fortress with enormous ramparts. Within its walls there remain the foundation of rectangular chambers and vestiges of prehistoric temples. Compared with those existing in Karelia, in Siberia, France, Denmark, America and the Sahara, the few thousands of ancient rock engravings at Oughtasar excel in their number and especially in the clarity and precision with which they portray the customs of the period, they have been well preserved. These monuments belonging to a Totemistic cult were creations of the Neolithic and Aneolithic era.
