Lori Province

Lori Province, Northern province in Armenia.

Description

Lori is a mountainous province in northern Armenia characterized by deep valleys, flowing rivers, and dense forests spread across a large area. Several historical monasteries are situated throughout this region.

History

Haghpat and Sanahin monasteries were built in the 10th century and stand as significant examples of Armenian monastic architecture from that era. These structures marked a peak in religious building practices of the region.

Culture

Carpet weaving remains a living craft in local villages, where artisans pass down their skills and regional patterns through generations. These textiles reflect the artistic traditions that connect the people to their environment.

Practical

You can reach the main towns by traveling along the primary road toward Vanadzor or Alaverdi, with bus services connecting to smaller settlements from these hubs. Organizing your visit around the larger towns helps you navigate the region effectively.
