Vagharshapat(or Etchmiadzin) founded in the 3rd millennium BC by King Vagharshak, Vagharshapat used to be the capital of Greater Armenia and the spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Today the city is referred to as a «Holy city of Armenia» and it is the spiritual center of the whole Armenian nation.
One of the highlights of Vagharshapat is its ancient UNESCO-listed Echmiadzin Cathedral, the major Armenian Apostolic church. Built in 303 AC as a small basilica, it is the oldest state-built church in the whole world. Located in a huge park-like area, the monastery is an impressive sight. It was rebuilt and has been added to it more than 1,700 years ago. The church is still the heart of the Armenian Church and the seat of the Catholicos of all Armenians.
The other place you should visit is the Zvartnots cathedral, a ruined church from the 7th century with a unique circular design. In spite of its ruined look, this cathedral is the favorite place for tourists.

There is no public transport in Vagharshapat but taxi is very cheap (1$ for any two points in Vagharshapat). 10 minutes walk to the city center and Echmiadzin Cathedral.
