Among the man-made attractions are the monasteries that form the image of the region: Odzun Monastery - the oldest monastery of Echmiadzin, located near the confluence of the Araks and Akhuryan rivers; Sanahin Monastery (Sanaine), founded in the X century and preserved outstanding examples of medieval Armenian architecture; and Haghpat Monastery, often visited as part of joint excursions with Sanahin. These shrines and their stone buildings tell about the deep historical and religious tradition of the region.
