Spitak, Mountain town in Lori Region, Armenia
Located at an elevation of 1250 meters, Spitak stands between the Bazum mountains in the north and Pambak mountains in the south.
The settlement, originally named Hamamlu in the 17th century, received its current name in 1949 due to the white limestone rocks present in the area.
The town maintains an ethnographic museum, cultural center, and multiple libraries that preserve and showcase Armenian heritage through exhibitions and educational programs.
Spitak functions as a transportation center with major motorways and a railway station connecting the capital Yerevan to Tbilisi, facilitating regional commerce.
The devastating earthquake of 1988 led to the complete reconstruction of Spitak in a different location, resulting in a modern urban layout with new infrastructure.
