“Not facade Yerevan” – Ararat Province, Armenia

EXPERIENCE

Welcome to the wonderful world of the old district of Yerevan – “Cond”! This is a place steeped in history and a mysterious atmosphere that envelops you from the first steps. The Conde is separated from the glossy main streets by secret passageways known only to locals. There you can see the ruins of the old Tapa Bashi Mosque, built in 1687, which is included in the list of historical monuments and is protected by the Government of Armenia. Get an authentic experience by visiting a local resident’s house, where you can enjoy pleasant, soulful conversations with a cup of fragrant coffee or tea accompanied by Armenian sweets.

Next, we will visit the museum of one of the most interesting creators of the 20th century, Sergei Parajanov.This place is a real repository of his brilliant ideas, expressive images and creative imagination. Here you will see a collection of unique art objects, a retrospective of his films and learn about the director’s life and work.
A walk through the halls of the museum will be a real journey into the world of oriental exoticism and the magic of cinema. Interesting expositions, unusual art objects and many photographs and artifacts will give you a unique experience and impressions.

Let’s take a walk through the streets of Yerevan and look into the paradise for creators, where the guys put together the seemingly incongruous. The creativity of the XXI century exists there in the interiors of the XIX century. In addition to the art gallery and creative laboratories, vintage boutiques and cafes are open in the Art Quarter. Anyone can go inside, chat with the artists, evaluate their work, buy an original piece or just sit and drink coffee with dessert in a cozy courtyard.
